Mark your calendars! National Skilled Nursing Care Week (NSNCW) kicks off this Sunday, May 11, and runs through Saturday, May 17, 2025. This special week is a great time to celebrate all who live and work in nursing facilities. The American Health Care Association (AHCA) has deemed this year’s theme "Tapestry of Life”, which highlights the meaningful stories that make up each person’s journey in skilled nursing care. From residents and families to caregivers and staff, everyone adds a unique thread that is woven into a vibrant tapestry. This theme celebrates the connections, resilience, and strength that unite us all!
Let this observance be more than just a week—make it a celebration! With NSNCW beginning this Sunday and continuing through next week, now is the perfect time to start planning meaningful activities that inspire joy, build community spirit, and show heartfelt appreciation for the individuals who reside, work, and volunteer in your facilities. Get inspired and get involved! Access the 2025 NSNCW planning resources here – we cannot wait to see your many celebratory photos next week!
