National Nursing Home Week

AHCA wishes everyone a happy National Nursing Home Week!

May 10-16, 2009

2009 Theme: "Nurturing a Love that Lasts"

AHCA is proud to announce this year's National Nursing Home Week® (NNHW) theme: "Nurturing a Love that Lasts". NNHW will be held May 10-16, 2009, beginning on Mother's Day. "Nurturing a Love that Lasts" 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. Nursing home staff, residents and volunteers nurture a caring environment that values communication, relationships and partnership. Be a part of this celebration in May 2009!
