Mayor visits Norwich Rehab to celebrate Nursing Home Week
NORWICH – City of Norwich Mayor Christine Carnrike visited Norwich Rehabilitation & Nursing Center on Wednesday, May 16 where she issued a proclamation declaring the week of May 13 to May 19 as the 2018 Nursing Home Week in Norwich.
In her proclamation, Carnrike urged citizens of Norwich to visit their loved ones, family members, and friends residing in any care setting and offer them "...a kind word, a personal touch, and spend time participating in various activities to unite those from all walks of life in need of our continuing love and support."
Under the 2018 National Nursing Home Week theme "Celebrating Life's Stories," staff at Norwich Rehabilitation & Nursing organized different activities every day last week to encourage its residents to relish in their lives' journeys.
Director of Recreations Bryant O'Donnell said, "Our goal as a team is to celebrate their lives. Celebrating their lives is very important because residents can lose a lot of their pride when coming into a nursing home. Our goal is to keep the positive, happy lifestyle with our residents, because if we don't keep a happy lifestyle, it can be depressing living in a nursing home. Our goal here is to keep a standard of quality care for our residents."
