National Nursing Home Week 2018

Every year, we plan special activities to celebrate National Nursing Home Week (May 13 – May 19). Throughout the week, we will honor our staff, volunteers, and residents with fun activities. We will also be holding a fundraiser to give our residents an opportunity to give back to the community that so generously supports us. Proceeds from our fundraiser will go to Let’s Go Fishing-Menomonie Area, a new organization providing older adults, veterans, and disabled adults, pontoon rides and fishing outings.
