National Nursing Home Week

National Nursing Home Week is celebrated every year by nursing homes across the US. It is a week to celebrate the residents in nursing homes. Over the past 23 years I have worked with nursing homes in a variety of positions.I would like to share some of the things that I have seen done and recognize the staff that pulls off these events. None of these events could happen without the hard work and dedication of the facility staff. Staff donate their time and talents to make these things happen.The following is a list of events: Balloon lift off Pic nics Bean dinners Ice cream socials Cash Cab Jeopardy Talent shows Carnivals Brunch Tea party Dog Show Car show Pet visits Sock hops Senior proms Music of all types Crazy hat contest Wheel chair races Wheel chair decorating Baby contest Cake walk Casino night Pie eating contest
