At 97 years young, Dorothy DeRonde continues to inspire us all with her talent, generosity and heart. Dorothy takes great pride in her handmade blankets and wraps, and it brings her so much joy to know they are going to good use.

We are incredibly grateful for her recent donation of 17 beautiful handmade blankets for our residents. Each stitch carries warmth, comfort and love and we know our residents will surely feel that with every use.

As the only not for profit (501c3) skilled nursing center in Rockland County, these acts of kindness and generosity are so important and greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Dorothy, for sharing your gift and brightening our community in such a meaningful and generous way.

From our resident Josephine..

I would like to take this opportunity to praise the dedicated Tolstoy staff for keeping the residents safe and well cared for--before--during and after the major snow storm.

Starting with our administrator Miriam Levi, LNHA, who was everywhere picking up nurses and aides--driving on the dreaded Palisades Pkwy and getting stuck in her own driveway, Thank You.

And thank you to the nurses, aides, housekeeping staff, kitchen staff for all being here and working extra hard.

At TFRNC, we believe care goes far beyond medical needs, it's about connection, purpose and joy.

Miriam Levi, LHNA, recently started a Book Club for our residents. This isn't just about reading; it's about sparking conversation, sharing memories, exercising the mind and creating moments of togetherness. Gathering around a book brings comfort, routine and the simple pleasure of being part of a shared experience.

As the only not-for-profit in Rockland County, initiatives like this reflect who we are at our core: a community that values dignity, engagement and meaningful human connection at every stage of life.
