AHCA recently announced “Sharing Our Wisdom” as the 2020
theme for National Skilled Nursing Care Week (NSNCW), which will be held May
10-16. The theme "Sharing Our
Wisdom," will celebrate skilled nursing centers, and their residents and
staff, by showcasing the insight, purpose, and wisdom to be learned from our
seniors, those living with dementia, and people with developmental and
intellectual disabilities. Residents offer a unique perspective based on their
life experiences, reminding us to be present, celebrate the small moments, and
value connections. NSNCW 2020 will focus
on the collective wisdom that residents can offer and share.
Established by the American Health Care Association (AHCA) in
1967, NSNCW, formerly known as National Nursing Home Week, recognizes the
essential role of skilled nursing care centers in caring for America’s frail,
elderly, and disabled. Skilled nursing
care centers and members of the public can download NSNCW promotional materials
at www.ahcancal.org/NSNCW and are encouraged to share activities, ideas, and
experiences for the observance on social media using the hashtag, #NSNCW. AHCA will issue a planning guide and product
catalog in late February. For more information on National Skilled Nursing Care
Week, visit www.ahcancal.org/NSNCW.
