Thank you, Activity Professionals

_{January 24th, 2024}

National Activity Professionals Day is observed on the 4th Friday of January and takes place on January 26 this year. It’s a special day to recognize and honor all the activity professionals who care and provide active experiences for the residents in nursing homes around the country. Did you know that the lifespan of Americans has increased in recent years, and due to this, there is a great need for patient-centered eldercare? This is where activity professionals come in. They inspire, engage, enrich, and make the lives of nursing home residents so much better and more interesting! It’s because of them that many long-term residents have good quality-of-life experiences.
