It's National Nursing Home Week, and this year's theme will definitely have you feeling warm and sunny no matter the weather - it's "Living the Aloha Spirit."
According to the American Health Care Association (AHCA), there's a lot more to the theme than just blue ocean water and pineapples: "To Hawaiians, the word 'aloha' has a deeper significance than just a fond farewell. By Living the Aloha Spirit, we show others love and respect and joyfully share life in order to create a better world. Key attributes of the 'Aloha Spirit' include patience, kindness and good feelings and respect in caring about others." The AHCA encourages facilities to spend the week enjoying activities that demonstrate these attributes.
The AHCA has posted party tips along with ideas for activities, music, games and food on their website. To view them, click here.
