Mayor Raymond Harris Jr. signed a proclamation on Monday declaring May 9-15 as Nursing Home Week. The document states that “nursing home residents of any age or ability are themselves living history and a precious resource.” It asks for Mayor Harris to “urge every citizen to honor the elderly and disabled residents of nursing homes by visiting or volunteering…to bring good cheer to the residents and staff.” Mayor Harris is joined by Shawn Verdin and Vicky Landry of Franklin Health Care and Rehabilitation Center.
