We had a beautiful Thanksgiving Feast here at Tolstoy Foundation Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, and our dining room looked absolutely stunning. Our Food and Dining Services Team prepared a completely homemade feast from start to finish, and the care, pride and dedication they put into every dish truly shined.

The homemade cakes and pastries were especially impressive--delicious, artfully presented and thoughtfully made with our residents in mind. It was a meal that brought comfort, joy and a real sense of celebration to our community.

Today, our team received a heartfelt letter from a family member of one of our beloved residents who recently passed away. Their kind words about the care their loved one received touched every one of us. Moments like these remind us why we do what we do each day.

We were also deeply moved by the generous gift of a new microwave for our community. It will be used daily and will serve as a meaningful reminder of the family's appreciation and the special connection we shared.

As a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization, acts of kindness like this directly support our mission and help us continue to provide compassionate, resident-centered care.

To the Family--Thank You! Your thoughtfulness and generosity mean more than we can express.

It's always so wonderful when we're able to capture these special moments that truly reflect the heart of our community.

Here, our Director of Nursing, Kathy Renc, RN, MSN, AGCNS, CHPN, is spending time with one of our residents--doing something she loves the most: making music! Our resident's passion for playing and singing often fills our halls with joy, and it's not uncommon to see staff and other residents joining in the fun. Moments like these remind us how meaningful connection, laughter and shared joy can be in everday life.

At Tolstoy Foundation Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, we take pride in being more than just a care facility--we're family. Every staff member knows our residents by name, understands their stories and cherishes the little things that make each person unique. The personal connections shines through in everything we do, creating warm and nurturing environment for all who call Tolstoy home.

The Tolstoy Foundation Rehabilitation and Nursing Center is honored to announce the appointment of Miriam Levi, LNHA, to our leadership team.

With more than two decades of experience in long-term and rehabilitation care, Ms. Levi brings an extraordinary blend of operational expertise, clinical insight, and a deep commitment to person-centered service. Throughout her distinguished career, she has redefined what it means to create a true sense of “home” within skilled nursing and rehabilitation settings—where compassion, innovation, and excellence come together to support every individual’s goals, preferences, and journey toward recovery.

Most recently, in her role as Assistant Administrator at The New Jewish Home, Sarah Neuman in Westchester, NY, Ms. Levi led a skilled nursing facility of over 400 team members. Under her guidance, the organization strengthened its culture of accountability, collaboration, and excellence in care delivery. Her leadership has consistently focused on improving quality outcomes, advancing clinical initiatives, and ensuring that each patient and resident receives care that honors dignity, purpose, and well-being.

Ms. Levi’s professional achievements have earned her numerous recognitions, including being named a McKnight’s Women of Distinction honoree and a Westy Award recipient. She has also been featured as a guest on the Elevate Eldercare podcast and as a presenter at several industry conferences. Her thoughtful leadership continues to influence the field of eldercare—advocating for environments where individuals can live fuller, more connected, and meaningful lives.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Miriam is known for her warmth, integrity, and genuine care for people. She is a proud mother and grandmother who enjoys time in nature, cooking, and reading. Her ability to inspire and connect with others reflects her belief that leadership in healthcare is about empathy as much as excellence.

We are delighted to welcome Miriam to the Tolstoy Foundation Rehabilitation and Nursing Center family. Her experience, vision, and passion for culture change will further elevate our mission of delivering compassionate, person-directed care, exceptional rehabilitation services, and outstanding clinical outcomes.

Please join us in extending a warm welcome to Miriam Levi, LNHA, as she begins this exciting new chapter with our community.
