National Nursing Home Week this year is being held May 13-19, 2007, beginning on Mother's Day with the theme of "Treasure our Elders." Golden Living Center - Otter Tail Lake will join thousands of long-term care providers in Minnesota and across the nation in celebrating National Nursing Home Week.
This week-long celebration honors the residents, staff and volunteers working and residing in long term care facilities.
Sponsored by the American Health Care Association, the week spotlights the crucial role nursing homes play in delivering quality care to our nation's seniors and disabled Americans, 1.5 million of whom reside in nursing facilities.
This week brings awareness to nursing homes, and is also a vehicle for celebrating the exceptional care providers, volunteers, families and others from the community who foster the spirit of "Treasure Our Elders" throughout the year.
If you would like to join in the activities, help plan an event, or come for a visit, please contact us at 218-495-2992.
