Ecumen Celebrates National Nursing Home Week

May 8 to 14, 2016, is National Nursing Home Week, which is part of May's Older Americans Month. This year's theme of National Nursing Home Week is "It's a Small World, with a Big Heart" to commemorate the New York World's Fair of the 1960s, a historical time for older adults.
