Village On The Isle Celebrates National Nursing Home Week

National Nursing Home Week begins on Mother’s Day, May 13 and continues until May 19, 2012.  Here at Village on the Isle we know that nursing home residents are the people who nurtured our community and helped it flourish and grow.  They are the teachers, shop keepers, business people, civil servants, parents and others who have contributed so much to the city of Venice.  This week gives us a chance to recognize their sacrifices and contributions.

This year’s theme is “Celebrating the Journey.”  Village On The Isle will be holding many events to showcase this week and give residents and staff a chance to be the center of attention.  On Monday, May 14 at 10:15 AM we will have our Opening Ceremony with Mayor John Holic, VFW, Venice High Color Guard, to name a few.  Tuesday May 15^th in the afternoon from 1pm-3pm we will have an Antique Car Show along with local radio personality. Wednesday, May 16^th the residents will enjoy a Sock Hop with entertainment by Ray.  On Thursday, May 17^th we will conclude our “Baby Photo Contest” and enjoy ice cream floats and finally we will close the week on Friday, May 18^th  with a balloon and butterfly release & BBQ.

We invite you to be a part of our National Nursing Home Week celebration.  Come and meet some of the wonderful residents at Village On The Isle.

At Village On The Isle our nurses are very important to us 365 days a year.  This Friday through May 12^th, we want to take a moment to publicly recognize and THANK all of you who give so much of yourselves to help others!   You are appreciated more than you’ll ever know.

Every year National Nurses Week focuses attention and appreciation to our America’s nurses work to save lives and to improve the health of millions of individuals. National Nurses Day is always celebrated on May 6th and opens National Nurses Week.  National Nurses Week begins each year on May 6th and ends on May 12th, the birth date of Florence Nightingale. National Nurses Week is devoted to emphasize the diverse ways in which nurses, who comprise the largest health care profession, are working to improve health care. From bedside nursing in hospitals and long-term care facilities to research institutions, state legislatures, and Congress, the depth and extent of the nursing profession is meeting the expanding health care needs of American society.
