Long Beach Nursing Home Beach Terrace Care Center Honors National Immunization Month

LONG BEACH, N.Y. - Aug. 12, 2014 - PRLog -- With August being National Immunization Month, Beach Terrace Care Center would like to remind the public how vital it is to stay current with the proper vaccines and shots as required by the Center for Disease Control (CDC). This is even more critical for our nation’s seniors, who are unfortunately at a higher risk of receiving communicable diseases.

For this reason Beach Terrace Care Center, Long Beach's premier nursing home, recommends everyone receive the flu shot and other vaccines against serious diseases such as measles and tuberculosis.

It is important to talk to friends and family and spread the word about the importance of immunizations. Many assume that vaccines are only for kids, while nothing can be further from the truth. Adults 65 and older need to get a special shot to prevent pneumonia.

Named one of America's Best Nursing Homes of 2014 by U.S. News & World Report, for the second year in a row, Beach Terrace Care Center is a 182-bed premier skilled nursing facility, specializing in dedicated treatment options for residents from short-term rehabilitation to long-term care. Located at 640 W Broadway, Long Beach, NY, mere feet from the water, Beach Terrace Care Center provides personalized care for each resident. Beach Terrace offers a renowned Alzheimer's/Dementia program, hospice and behavioral unit.
