Recognition Coincides with May Tribute Weeks, Older Americans Month<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 9, 2022 \u2013 As part of the Alexandria community\u2019s celebration of National Nurses Week<\/a> and National Skilled Nursing Care Week (NSNCW)<\/a> \u2013 and recognizing that May was Older Americans Month<\/a> \u2013 Mayor Justin Wilson visited Woodbine Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center<\/a> to issue a proclamation expressing the city\u2019s support of these initiatives and its appreciation for both seniors and those who care for them.<\/p>\n

His speech was delivered in the courtyard at Woodbine, live-streamed to an audience of care team members and residents. Noting Woodbine\u2019s important place in the community as a whole, and to community residents individually, the mayor pointed out that the theme of this year\u2019s NSNCW tribute to skilled nursing care centers \u2013 \u201cCreating and Nurturing Connections\u201d \u2013 captures the skilled nursing facility\u2019s essence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe community relies on Woodbine,\u201d Mayor Wilson said, adding that the facility\u2019s commitment to residents was \u201cnever more evident than over the past two years.\u201d The mayor acknowledged that during the pandemic, it was up to the center\u2019s staff to fill the place of family for its residents. \u201cThe commitment of the staff made a difference, ensuring that residents had the essential social connections they needed,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Woodbine Administrator Donna Shaw told the mayor she had no doubt the facility\u2019s residents appreciated his remarks. \u201cWe\u2019ve had such great support from the city,\u201d she said. \u201cTo have you here to celebrate our residents and our staff means so much. Our staff, especially, works so hard. It\u2019s a labor of love to be a nurse, to be a nursing assistant and to be a caregiver in any facility like ours. I share this with our fellow colleagues in all kinds of different post-acute and long-term care settings in the city.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u200b\u200b\u200bNSNCW, which was established by the American Health Care Association in 1967, recognizes the essential role of skilled nursing care centers and staff in caring for America\u2019s elderly and disabled. National Nurses Week highlights nurses for the highly specialized knowledge, critical thinking skills and compassion they bring to the role every day.<\/p>\n
