Tuey - Making a Home

80-year-old Tuey came to Quincy Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Quincy, Massachusetts, in October 2001, after suffering a stroke.

"When I came here, the staff treated me very good and the rehab staff helped me feel better," said Tuey, who moved to the United States from Hong Kong in 1948. Tuey is now a resident of Quincy Rehabilitation's Jade Villa, a 50-bed unit designed to meet the needs of the region's growing elderly Asian community. Jade Villa includes Asian nurses and nursing assistants as well as a Chinese chef.

Tuey said she enjoys the amenities offered at Jade Villa, including music, Tai Chi and reading Asian newspapers. Tuey is also able to watch Chinese soap operas transmitted via satellite from Hong Kong.
