Garfield Neurobehavioral Center Holds Vibrant Celebrations for National Skilled Nursing Care Week

Telecare’s Garfield Neurobehavioral Center in Oakland, CA, recently dedicated time to honor National Skilled Nursing Care Week. The chosen theme for 2023, "Cultivating Kindness," as recognized by The American Health Care Association (AHCA), highlights the crucial role played by skilled nursing care centers like Garfield in delivering exceptional, safe, and resident-centered 24-hour nursing care to our country's most vulnerable population. Acts of kindness performed by the staff daily go beyond the call of duty and have the power to transform the lives of both staff and residents.

Throughout the exciting week at Garfield Neurobehavioral Center, engaging themed days were organized to bring joy and a sense of community to staff and residents. The festivities began with the spirited Cowboy Day on Monday, where the facility was transformed into a western frontier, complete with cowboy hats, boots, and rustic decorations. Tuesday brought the mouthwatering delight of Taco Tuesday as everyone gathered to savor a delectable plate of tacos.

Midweek, Garfield Neurobehavioral Center transported everyone to a tropical paradise with Beach Day, with beach balls and colorful beach-themed decor creating a vibrant atmosphere. The energy escalated on Thursday with the highly anticipated Garfield Olympics, where teams competed in friendly yet spirited competitions, showcasing their athletic skills. Finally, the week culminated in grand style with a lively Masquerade Ball on Friday, as staff and residents donned elegant masks and costumes, dancing away in an enchanting setting adorned with dazzling decorations. Each day's festivities were accompanied by a delightful array of activities and tasty food offerings, ensuring everyone had an immersive and memorable experience.

We praise all the participants at Garfield Neurobehavioral Center for their dedication and enthusiasm in making National Nursing Care Week a memorable and meaningful experience for everyone involved. These celebrations not only uplift the spirits of our staff and residents' spirits but also foster camaraderie, teamwork, and joy within our care community.
