AHCA 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.
