Nursing Home Week

Tuesday, May 13, 2008

Dear Editor,

National Nursing Home Week, which began on Mother's Day, May 11, and ends May 18, is a special week where residents, caregivers, families, staff and volunteers honor and celebrate nursing facility life.

Many nursing home residents are the people who planted the seeds that have made our community grow stronger. They have been the teachers, the business people, the parents and other central figures who produced all of the good things that we now enjoy.

This week gives us a chance to honor those special residents, as well as the families, staff, volunteers and community. This year's theme is "Love is Ageless" and is a perfect time to visit your loved ones, friends and neighbors as many facilities will be holding special events.

If you unable to visit, please make a phone call, send a card, flowers or even an e-mail. This special attention will make someone's day! Take this time to reach out and let someone very special know that you are thinking about them now and throughout the year. Celebrate with us! 

Sincerely,

Peggy A. Rogers,

Administrator

Hillcrest Nursing Home
