Brewster, NY Based Nursing Home Putnam Ridge Supports the Rights of its Residents and Staff in All Aspects of Operation. End Quote

(1888PressRelease) December 18, 2013 - Putnam Ridge is proud to support the spirit of Human Rights Day on December 10th, 2013. Wedged into the busy holiday season that runs throughout December, Human Rights Day commemorates the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations in 1948.

Human rights, particularly the rights of their residents, are the top priority in all aspects of operation at Putnam Ridge. The administration believes that care facilities cannot operate based on the bottom line, instead basing their care on the golden rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. To that effect, all residents are treated as individuals, with different likes and tastes, and are given the personalized care that they need to live happily and comfortably.

Putnam Ridge also has a strict no discrimination policy when it comes to their hiring and admissions processes, ensuring the rights of every individual are respected and ensured. Applicants for employment or admission are never discriminated against based on their age, race, gender, religion, disability or orientation.

"We gladly support International Human Rights day here at Putnam Ridge. It is our great hope that everyone attempts to embody the spirit of the day in some way. We take immense pride in providing our residents a place where they can receive the care they need without infringing on their freedoms in any way," said Rosemarie Pottinger, Administrator at Putnam Ridge.
