The County of Simcoe has proclaimed May 12 to 18 as Nursing Week to celebrate the exceptional nurses who serve communities in the region.
This includes the dedicated nursing professionals who serve in the County’s four long-term care homes providing 24/7 care to vulnerable residents by overseeing complex medical care while also delivering daily treatments and medications.
“The nurses who serve in our long-term care homes and support in our seniors services locations demonstrate remarkable skill, compassion, and dedication every day,” said Simcoe County Warden Basil Clarke. “They don’t just address medical needs – using their expertise, specialized knowledge and unique approach in caring for our older adults, they honour each resident’s dignity and support their quality of life.”
Over the last several years, nursing professionals have adapted to changing conditions while maintaining quality care. They have built meaningful relationships with residents and families to create a home environment with those facilities.
Throughout the week, residents are encouraged to share their thanks and show support to the outstanding nurses in their lives and communities.
