Happy National Skilled Nursing Care Week!

National Skilled Nursing Care Week (NSNCW) is May 14-20, and NCHCFA celebrates your hard work and dedication to the nursing care community.

Established in 1967 by AHCA, National Skilled Nursing Week recognizes the essential role skilled nursing care centers play in providing high quality 24-hour nursing care to millions of America’s seniors and individuals with disabilities.

This year’s NSNCW theme—Cultivating Kindness—is inspired by the many acts of kindness that happen in skilled nursing care centers every day. Research has found that practicing compassion and kindness not only can improve health and well-being but can also strengthen human connections and bonds. Staff, residents, families, and members of the local community are encouraged to come together to participate in activities that cultivate and spread kindness during this special week.
