NEW BERLIN - For the past 80 years Chase has been a part of the New Berlin Community, first as a rural hospital and for the last 45 years a skilled and rehabilitation center up on the hill known as ChaseHealth. ChaseHealth is also the first nursing home in the nation to bring animals, plants, and children into the skilled setting in 1992, known nationwide as “The Eden Project” currently known as ChaseHealth Life Focus.

Being the only not for profit independent skilled nursing home in a three county area there are times when we ask for the community’s assistance as funds can be difficult to come by for the “extras” such as comfortable noninstitutionalized furniture, recreational and leisure opportunities, computers for residents to use to maintain contact with their family members who live a distance, televisions, etc.

To bridge the gaps ChaseHealth is sponsoring a Benefit Golf Tournament at the Red Pines Golf Course in Edmeston, NY on September 18th with tee-off time a 9:30am. The golf teams will consist of Captain and Crew ($55.00 per golfer/$220.00 per team), entry fee will include 18 holes of golf with a cart; hamburger or hotdog meal at the turn, Bar-b-Que chicken dinner at the end, entry into numerous door prizes, and the opportunity to participate in a basket raffle while at the same time benefiting the lives of seniors.
