The American Health Care Association’s (AHCA) theme for the 2009 National Nursing Home Week observance is “Nurturing a Love that Lasts.” National Nursing Home Week will occur nationwide beginning Mother’s Day, May 10, and continuing through May 16, 2009.
The theme highlights how a supportive and caring environment, such as a nursing home, nurtures and enables residents and families to continue the human interactive process of “growth,” “learning” and “teaching.” Life and its “connections” continue in a nursing home where its staff contributes by sustaining an environment that recognizes and values its residents’ innate desire for connectedness with families, especially grand children. -
