We are excited to participate in National Skilled Nursing Care Week (NSNCW) from May 10-16, 2026.

The NSNCW 2026 theme, “Moments in Bloom,” celebrates skilled nursing centers, and their residents and staff. Established as an annual, week-long observance by the American Health Care Association (AHCA) in 1967, NSNCW honors the essential role of skilled nursing care centers in caring for America’s elders and individuals with disabilities.

We have some fun activities planned for our residents this week! They’ll be making Hawaiian leis, participating in volleyball, loosening up with some luau dancing, enjoying a family fun night, and spending some time outside while we grill out.
