Beach Terrace Care Center Celebrates National Nursing Home Week 2014

Long Beach, NY, May 13, 2014 --(PR.com)-- This year, starting on Mother's Day, the week of May 11-17 marks National Nursing Home Week. The American Health Care Association (AHCA) established National Nursing Home Week in 1967, which gives the opportunity for administrators around the country to celebrate the many contributions of their staff. This year's National Nursing Home theme is the Hawaiian, "Living the Aloha Spirit," encouraging living a life of kindness, compassion, patience and harmony. Many additional programs will be run throughout the week to promote these ideals.

In Hawaiian culture, Aloha has more profound interpretations than the simple 'hello'. It also stands for treating others with respect, care, and humility which are the values upheld at Beach Terrace Care Center. A place of unity, truthfulness, harmony and caring and respect for others. These values are core to the everyday workings of Beach Terrace Care Center, and influence the staff and administration.

In the spirit of National Nursing Home Week many administrators take the opportunity to express how appreciative they are of their staff and the great work that they do. There is always a focus on making the work environment as enjoyable to work in as possible and National Nursing Home Week is the perfect opportunity to showcase these aspects of a facility.

"I'd like to take this opportunity to express my utmost appreciation and once again thank the amazing staff at Beach Terrace Care Center for their undying commitment to rehab care," said Martin Zwick, Administrator at Beach Terrace Care Center. "I want them to know they are an unmatched and unparalleled driving force and a shining example for all others in this industry. I am very proud of the work we have accomplished so far and look forward to what we have planned for the future."
