PRESCOTT – National Nursing Home Week was kicked off Monday morning with a balloon liftoff at the Springs Hillcrest Nursing Home.

Residents gathered out front with their balloons. However, they weren’t quite in synch as the balloons were released at different times. Two residents had fun as they “fought” one another with their balloons prior to letting them go.

Ginger Turner, administrator, said different things are planned for the staff and residents during the week, including: dress up day, crazy sock day; favorite team day; and favorite decade day. There will also be a variety of activities, a cookout and games throughout the week.
