Each year, National Skilled Nursing Care Week shines a spotlight on the compassion, dedication, and meaningful connections that define skilled nursing care. Celebrated May 10–16, 2026, this year’s theme, “Moments in Bloom,” recognizes how everyday acts of kindness and support can grow into life-enriching experiences for residents, families, and caregivers alike.

From shared laughter and rehabilitation milestones to comforting conversations and personalized care, the moments that happen inside skilled nursing communities each day make a lasting impact. National Skilled Nursing Care Week is an opportunity to celebrate not only the residents who call these communities home, but also the nurses, therapists, caregivers, dietary teams, housekeepers, and staff members who help create a warm and supportive environment.

Established by the American Health Care Association in 1967, National Skilled Nursing Care Week begins annually on Mother’s Day and encourages communities across the country to honor the people at the heart of long-term and post-acute care.

As we celebrate Skilled Nursing Care Week, we thank the dedicated professionals who make these moments possible every day.
