The National Health Care Association is celebrating National Nursing Home Week (NNHW) from May 13-19 this year. As their press release notes, “NNHW 2012 recognizes residents in long term care settings who live life to the fullest and the dedicated staff who care for them. This observance is a perfect opportunity to involve families, community members, youth and others in a community-wide show of support and respect for these individuals and the staff who provide the care or provide support services.”
For a list of activities and ways your facility can participate, please see the National Health Care Association’s guidebook at http://www.ahcancal.org/events/national_nursing_home_week/Documents/NNHWeb.pdf.
