We love our Hospice Aides!
National Nursing Assistants’ Week provides an opportunity to foster and showcase the wonderful things that can happen for patients and their families when we work together for quality care and respect.
Hospice Aides are key players in the lives of the people in their care. Each day, more than 2,500,000 caregivers provide hands-on care to our nation’s elderly, or chronically health challenged citizens in nursing homes and other long term care settings.
Because they “stay” in care giving positions, Career Nursing Assistants provide predictability and stability to care, which in turn enhances the feeling of security for our aging, frail, or chronically challenged citizens. They bring wisdom, patience, humor, and a general attitude of caring to the daily lives of these people.
The annual observance of Career Nursing Assistants’ Day and Nursing Assistants’ Week was founded by Career Nurse Assistants Programs in 1977. Since this time, the group has expanded and has members in every state and other countries as well. This popular nursing assistant recognition program has grown to include thousands of facilities and organizations joining together each year to recognize and honor nursing assistants.
Thank you for the wonderful job you do for our patients and families!
