National Nursing Home Week
May 9 - 16, 1976
It is vitally important to the strength and future
progress of our society that those citizens in
need of long-term institutional care -- especially
the elderly -- be provided the best possible en-
vironment and attention during their period of
recuperation or, in some cases, for the remain-
der of their lives. With this in mind, I want to
salute the dedicated men and women who help to
ensure proper nursing home care for those who
require it.
It is encouraging to note the tremendous growth
of the nursing home industry and the steady expan-
sion of its critical role in promoting the well-
being of our communities. The success we have
realized is a tribute to the American spirit of
concern for others and to our national willingness
to work together for the common good.
On this special observance I commend the nursing
home industry and express deep gratitude for its
outstanding contribution to the quality of life in
our country.
Merald R. Ford
