This year's National Skilled Nursing Care Week (NSNCW), themed "Radiant Memories," is being observed from May 12 to 18, 2024, to honor the essential role skilled nursing care centers play in providing compassionate care to America's seniors and individuals with disabilities. The theme was chosen to celebrate the rich tapestry of stories and experiences of those who reside and work within skilled nursing care centers.
Approximately 1.5 million skilled nurses work tirelessly in long-term care facilities and post-acute care settings. These professionals are instrumental in caring for over 800,000 residents annually, from the elderly to those recovering from surgeries or managing chronic conditions.
