Skilled Nursing Care Week in Missouri
MHCA is proud to celebrate National Skilled Nursing Care Week (NSNCW), to be held May 11-17, 2025! NSNCW is an excellent opportunity to recognize Missouri’s amazing long-term care staff, who are going to extraordinary lengths to keep our most vulnerable safe, and our residents, who have vast amounts of wisdom to share.
This year’s theme – Tapestry of Life – highlights the meaningful stories that make up each person’s journey in skilled nursing care. From residents and families to caregivers and staff, everyone adds a unique thread that is woven into this vibrant tapestry. This theme celebrates the connections, resilience and strength that unite us all.
The Honorable Governor Mike Kehoe has signed a Proclamation naming May 11-17, 2025 as the official Skilled Nursing Care Week in Missouri. Please print and display this proclamation in your facility and share with your community.
We encourage you to explore the following resources of ideas and suggestions from AHCA on how you might celebrate:
- Visit NSNCW.org for a list of activity ideas and links to the AHCA Store for special NSNCW products.
- Use the Planning Guide to plan your activities for the week. Or use them to help come up with your own unique celebrations!
- Begin planning how you will promote NSNCW activities with those outside your building. Use materials in the promotional toolkit to reach out to media, local and national elected officials, and your surrounding community to spread the word.
- Use the NSNCW graphics and logos to promote NSNCW in your newsletters and other materials.
- Go to Facebook and Twitter using #NSNCW to share activity ideas, videos, and messages.
