“Celebrate Life’s Stories” During National Skilled Nursing Care Week

This week, long-term/post-acute care (LTPAC) providers across the country are commemorating National Skilled Nursing Care Week (NSNCW). First established by the American Health Care Association (AHCA) in 1967, the observance, which follows last week's celebration of National Nurses Week, "provides an opportunity to recognize the role of skilled nursing care centers in caring for America’s seniors and individuals with disabilities." This year’s theme, "Celebrating Life’s Stories," "serves as a tribute to life’s most significant events, relationships, and experiences that shape the unique perspectives of residents, families, staff, and volunteers in long term and post-acute care."

LeadingAge NY encourages members to share their NSNCW activity ideas and stories on social media with the hashtag #NSNCW.
