Celebrating CNA Week | June 11–17

This week, we honor the compassionate, hardworking Certified Nursing Assistants who are the heart of care in our communities. From early mornings to late nights, CNAs show up with dedication, empathy, and strength, making a real difference in the lives of older adults every single day.

LeadingAge Illinois is proud to support CNAs and aging services providers across Illinois with the education, resources, and community you need to thrive.

Because when you grow, the older adults you serve thrive too.

Happy CNA Week! Explore opportunities built for you at https://leadingageil.org/learn-network/

Jason Speaks, Kellie Van Ree, and the rest of our team are here for you. We look forward to continuing to serve you.

🛑Stop scrolling if you work in social services in long-term care.

◾Can you defend every line of your last social assessment if a surveyor asked right now?
◾Do your care plans reflect what residents actually said, or what the team assumed?

If you hesitated on any of those, you are not alone.
