 Local nursing home goes above and beyond for residents during National Nursing Home Week. We've had games, food, cakes, candy, cookies, cookouts. You name it, we've had it. The residents were treated to a series of themed days including Hawaiian Luau, Carnival Day, and even their very own Mountain Manor Auto Talent Show. There is a lot of planning when it comes to National Nursing Home Week. You typically want to look at a theme each and every day. You want to look to see what not only what you can pull off, but what everybody's going to enjoy here in a moment. We have a horse show that's coming to the facility. It'll be in our parking lot for residents to enjoy and for our staff to enjoy as well. Cancer, it's a very scary word, but an outstanding treatment facility was here at home. I was led to the Lawson Cancer Center. As a nurse practitioner at the Lawson Cancer Center, we are champions for our patients. I am so happy for Robert. The treatment worked. The staff's commitment to creating a vibrant and inclusive community within the nursing home did not go unnoticed. The residents praised their efforts emphasizing that the staff felt more like family than employees. This week's been more exciting. It made you feel like you're living again. More activities makes you feel better. You're alive. You're not laying here. You're moving and you're doing it. It is a wonderful time. Not only does it give them a sense of life again, but it also fulfills a lot for us. As the staff here at Mountain Manor, we're able to see their faces light up. It makes our hearts warm. We actually get involved and do a lot of things with them during nursing home week that we typically don't have time to do. From daily activities and personalized care to a warm and welcoming atmosphere, the facility has redefined the concept of home for its residents. We're just blessed people to be able to work in their home, to be able to provide care and give quality of life to each and every one of our residents. It's just been a wonderful week.
