National Skilled Nursing Home Care Week: Facility Tours

National Skilled Nursing Care Week is May 10-16, 2026. Since 1967 The American Health Care Association has dedicated a spring week, starting Mother’s Day, to shine light on the individuals who reside, work, and volunteer in nursing centers around the country.  

This year providers can showcase how everyday acts of compassion, connection and teamwork grow into meaningful experiences for residents, families, and staff. For more information, visit AHCA’s website here: National Skilled Nursing Care Week | Celebrating Caregivers & Residents 

If you, your community, or provider network plans to participate in activities for this special week, please consider inviting your district legislators to join in on the fun. This opportunity provides lawmakers with a chance to engage patients, staff, and families they represent in Olympia. Understanding the powerful work our nursing homes do in communities throughout Washington is key to building long-term care champions ahead of the 2027 legislative session, especially as fiscal uncertainty continues in our state. If this interests you, reach out to WHCA’s Aidan Swayne for more information and to coordinate a visit for your facility.  We hope to count you in.
