Nathan Littauer Nursing Home Celebrates National Nursing Home Week.

Nathan Littauer Nursing Home is offering several events as part of National Skilled Nursing Care Week (NSNCW), which runs from May 12 to 18. The theme for this year’s national observance, “Live Soulfully,” celebrates skilled nursing centers, their residents and staff, by showcasing how they achieve happy minds and healthy souls.

Nathan Littauer’s Nursing Home will celebrate how each individual Lives Soulfully, whether it’s through planting, cooking, reading or listening to music. Nursing centers across the country pay it forward by helping individuals find their own happiness to improve quality of life.

Established by the American Health Care Association (AHCA) in 1967, NSNCW, formerly known as National Nursing Home Week, provides an opportunity for residents and their loved ones, staff, volunteers, and surrounding communities to acknowledge the role of skilled nursing care centers in caring for America’s seniors and individuals with disabilities.
