NATIONAL SKILLED NURSING
CARE WEEK
The Orchards will be
celebrating National
Skilled Nursing Care
Week May 10th through
the 16th with this year’s
national theme: “Sharing
Our Wisdom”. The
observance is sponsored
by the American Health
Care Association and
recognizes the role of
skilled nursing care
centers in caring for
America’s seniors
and individuals with
disabilities. The American
Health Care Association
offers insight on the
theme: “Sharing Our
Wisdom” will celebrate
skilled nursing centers,
and their residents and
staff, by showcasing the
insight, purpose and
wisdom to be learned from
our seniors, those living
with dementia and people
with developmental and
intellectual disabilities.
Residents offer a unique
perspective based on
their life experiences,
reminding us to be
present, celebrate the
small moments, and value
connections. NSNCW
2020 will focus on the
collective wisdom that
residents can offer and
share. We have daily
activities planned during
the week celebrating our
facility, our residents,
and our staff, including
creating our Wall of
Wisdom-My Living
Message. Stay tuned for
updates and photos of our
project!
The Orchards of East
Liverpool invites you to
share the wisdom you
have learned from your
loved one, whether it was
learned at an early age or
within the past week. It
will be shared with your
person and the facility
on a specially decorated
bulletin board. Please
email lstrezze@The-

Wisdom is seeing and understanding life as a whole.
The lessons we encounter as we travel our life paths
invite us to grow wiser as we mature. Ultimately, our
wisdom becomes our most trusted source of guidance
in living. When we share our wisdom, it becomes
a touchstone providing inspiration, guidance and
teachable moments for our loved ones as they may
encounter similar experiences along their life journeys.
