Aperion Care Wilmington Celebrates National Nursing Home Week May 10-16

In observance of Nursing Home Week, May 10 to 16, 2015, Aperion Care Wilmington will host a weeklong celebration to encourage residents, families and other close relatives to reach out to and visit with their loved ones and caregivers.

Aperion Care Wilmington’s festivities—which happen in various ways at nursing homes across the county—kick off every year with Mother’s Day and launch into a week of celebrating employees, residents and their families. Staff and residents look forward to it all year. Further, after the long, cold Illinois winter, it gives everyone the chance to enjoy the warmer temperatures, spring flowers and outdoors.

Aperion Care Wilmington’s fun events to highlight the week and kick off the summer include Monday (5/11) - John Boda Fiesta music, Tuesday (5/12) - Maraca ring toss, Wednesday (5/13) - Piñata party, Thursday (5/14) - Fiesta costume contest and Friday (5/15) - Fiesta ice cream social.

National Nursing Home Week is an annual observance sponsored nationally by the American Health Care Association, based in Washington, D.C.
