Established by the American Health Care Association in 1967, the National Skilled Nursing Care Week (NSNCW) will focus on the theme of living soulfully this year.
During NSNCW, an observance that begins annually on Mother’s Day, nursing care centers across the country are showcasing how they Live Soulfully by achieving happy minds and healthy souls. NSNCW is a great way to shine a spotlight on the important role of skilled nursing care centers as each and every person in this profession makes an impact on the lives of residents.
From May 12-18, San Simeon by the Sound was among those facilities that planned events and activities for residents and staff that resonated with the Live Soulfully theme. Some activities included Spirit Day with trivia and country music, bingo and soul music, activities with a therapy dog, and a visit from the Hamptons Christian Fellowship Choir, among many other fun activities.
