National Nursing Home Week, May 10 - 16, 2009
May 10th – May 16th – National Nursing Home Week
Each year, the American Health Care Association (AHCA) declares a theme for National Nursing Home Week. This year’s theme is “Nurturing a Love that Lasts”. According to the organization’s website, this year’s theme “will encourage all to think of generations of parents and grandparents nurturing future generations to carry on life and family traditions. A supportive and caring environment, such as a nursing home, nurtures and enables residents and families to continue growing, learning and teaching through various ways.” (www.ahca.org)
Why not take the opportunity this week to visit a friend or family member in a nursing home. Your presence and support will honor the residents and will make their day even brighter!
