For NNHW 2014, ACHA encourages Senior Living and Post-Acute Care communities to promote messages throughout the week that demonstrate the qualities of: Patience, Kindness, Harmony and Good Feelings in Caring and Respect for Others. “We at VCPI strongly endorse these values within our own organization and the Senior Living and Post-Acute Care community and enthusiastically support ACHA’s National Nursing Home Week efforts,” said Katey Sidesky, Marketing & Business Development Manager.
