SEIU Observes National Nursing Home Week
May 11-17 is National Nursing Home Week, and SEIU salutes nursing home residents as well as their caregivers -- both those caregivers in our Union as well as those still struggling for a voice on the job. The theme of this year's NNH Week is "Love is Ageless," which serves as a reminder to respect the dignity of residents and caregivers alike. SEIU members reiterate our call to couple such important recognition with concrete improvements to better value caregivers' contributions and to ensure consistently safe staffing on nursing home floors.
