Nassau, The Bahamas, December 2, 2022 – Colina’s Christmas Elves recently outfitted the Geriatric Unit of the Sandilands Rehabilitation Centre with decorations ahead of the holiday season.

“We welcomed the opportunity to bring merriment to the residents of Sandilands by decorating the property,” said Maxine V. Seymour, Director of Corporate Communications, Colina. “Our employees were thrilled to volunteer and enthusiastically made time to brighten up the facility.”

“The Christmastization of Sandilands is therapeutic for both patients and staff, recognizing that staff will spend countless hours away from family during the Yuletide season,” said Betsy Duvalier, Public Relations Manager, Sandilands Rehabilitation Centre.

“WHO defines health as ‘a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being’,” said Seymour. “We hope that the decorations will put smiles on the faces of those facing mental health challenges as well as the elderly residents of the Geriatric Unit during this festive season,” said Seymour.

“It is a fact that no matter the state of mind, Christmas positively changes the mood of individuals, and is a major orientation tool time for clients in a healthcare setting,” Duvalier concluded.
