National Skilled Nursing Care Week, formerly known as National Nursing Home Week, is one of the most important events of the year for nursing homes.
Held annually since 1967 and always beginning on Mother’s Day, National Skilled Nursing Care Center Week is May 11-17, 2025. The observance is sponsored by the American Health Care Association and celebrates the essential role skilled nursing care centers play in providing high-quality, long-term and post-acute care to millions of individuals each year.
2025 Theme: Tapestry of Life
“Tapestry of Life” is the 2025 theme for National Skilled Nursing Care Center Week (NSNCW).
The American Health Care Association (AHCA) offers insight on the theme: “‘Tapestry of Life,’ highlights the vibrant and meaningful stories that weave together the lives of residents, families, caregivers, and other staff. Everyone adds a unique thread that is woven into this vibrant tapestry. The theme encourages organizations to honor the relationships and moments that create a strong, united tapestry of care and compassion.”

The AHCA will release a comprehensive planning guide, themed gifts and decorations, and promotional toolkit in late February 2025. The 2025 logo and graphics are now available on the NSNCW website.
