Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) at Care Nursing and Rehab were honored during National Certified Nursing Assistants Week, June 13-20th.

Now as never before, attention is being directed to care of the elderly and disabled citizens, and greater attention also is directed to the workers who provide hands-on-care and caring.

The 36th annual National Nursing Assistants Week provides a timely opportunity to foster and showcase the wonderful things that can happen for residents and workers.

“Earlier this week a family member of one of our residents said he was so impressed with the genuine concern and care that his loved one is shown,” Susan Ruiz, Director of Nurses at Care said   “We are so fortunate to have professional and caring staff working with our families.  Nursing Assistants are the Heart of our Care.”

The First Day of Nursing Assistants and Direct Care Workers Week–June 13, 2013–is designated as National Career Nursing Assistants’ Day to recognize nursing assistants who have dedicated their lives to the well-being of other.

“I hope that we will continue throughout the year to show our co-workers how much we all depend on each other and we will always work as a team for the benefit of all,” said Care Nursing and Rehab admissions and marketing coordinator Jodie Armstrong.
