VHCC celebrates
National Nursing Home Week
Versailles Health Care Center, a skilled nursing and rehabilitation
center, was among thousands of nursing facilities throughout the nation
that celebrated National Nursing Home Week, May 8th through the
14th. The celebration featured the theme “It’s a Small World with
Big Heart”. This year’s theme underscored the bond between staff,
residents and patients, and their families. Versailles
Health Care Center held a week-long carnival and fun fair which created
positive interactions between the residents and patients and their
families and friends. Special activities included Musical
Entertainment by Dan Anderson featuring songs “It’s a Small World After
All” and “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing”, Crazy Craig’s Juggling
Act, Stan the Magic Man Show, Caricatures by Shelly, Big Top
photo booth, carnival games, and king and queen crowning to represent
VHCC in the 65th Annual Versailles Poultry Days Parade. Cotton
candy, popcorn, ice cream treats, lemonade shake-ups, fair fries,
walking tacos, snow cones, and many more treats were served in keeping
with the fair-like atmosphere.
Staff held a door decorating contest and residents voted on the winner
with the winner receiving a $50 gift. The door decorating contest
winner was the Housekeeping and Laundry Department. Also, each
day staff members were encouraged to stop by the office of choice for
the day and nominate one of their co-workers to show their appreciation
for someone’s kindnesses. At the end of the week, the staff
member with the most nominations received a gift basket. The
winner of the Random Acts of Big Heartedness was Karen Stanley from the
Laundry Department.
Kristy Earick, CEO/Administrator at Versailles Health Care Center, said
“Every year we have fun celebrating National Nursing Home Week.
It’s a great time to encourage everyone to interact with each
other. This year’s theme was all about promoting VHCC as the
place where the pursuit of health and happiness occurs and what a
better way to do that than holding a week-long carnival and fun
fair!” Versailles Health Care Center offers short-term rehab
services, outpatient therapy, and long-term care. If you are
