Independent Nursing Home Association

06/21/2026

In our nursing homes, Father's Day looks a little different.

It looks like a resident proudly sharing photos of his children and grandchildren.

It looks like a son visiting the man who once carried him on his shoulders.

It looks like stories told for the hundredth time—and listened to as if they were the first.

It looks like a nurse, caregiver, administrator, or maintenance director finishing a long shift before heading home to his own family.

It looks like generations of men connected by one thing: love.

Today, we celebrate the fathers who built families, served their communities, taught life's lessons, and created legacies that live on through the people they love.

And we celebrate the fathers who walk our halls each day as caregivers and leaders, bringing compassion, strength, and dignity to those entrusted to their care.

To every dad who calls our facilities home, and every dad who helps make them feel like home—we see you, we appreciate you, and we celebrate you.

Happy Father's Day. 💙

🎉 That’s a wrap on the 2026 INHA Summer Conference! 🎉

Over the past few days, we learned from incredible speakers, connected with industry partners, discovered new solutions, shared plenty of laughs, exchanged hugs, and gained new knowledge to take back to our facilities.

One attendee said it best:

❤️ “This conference is like coming back to see old friends and family.”

That’s exactly what makes INHA special.

A huge thank you to our exhibitors and sponsors whose support makes this event possible and helps independent nursing homes across Mississippi continue providing exceptional care.

Special thanks to the amazing team at Beau Rivage Resort & Casino. They truly roll out the red carpet for our group, making every detail seamless and somehow meeting our needs before we even know we have them.

And thank you to Exagere for creating a beautiful exhibit hall and always being willing to move a booth, add a booth, or make whatever last-minute magic we needed happen.

Now it’s time to head home, unpack, catch up on emails, and start putting all that new knowledge into action.

❤️ Safe travels, INHA family. We’ll see you next year!

Two days in and we’ve been having too much fun to post!

We’ve laughed, learned, networked, eaten way too well, and danced along to an incredible yacht rock band.

One thing is for sure—this group knows how to have fun!!

Here are a few highlights so far. ⛵️🎶📸

🎶⚓️ Yacht Rock is playing, the Coast is calling, and the INHA Summer Conference starts TODAY!

Registration opens at 12:30 PM, and we're excited to welcome everyone to the beautiful Beau Rivage for a week of learning, connecting, and having a little fun along the way.

The Beau is looking especially festive, all decked out in celebration of our nation's 250th birthday. 🇺🇸

As we kick off the week, we're keeping the main thing the main thing—Where Residents Come First. 💙

Safe travels to those still on the road. We can't wait to see everyone soon!

I had every intention of posting something professional today...

Then I watched this video of Haul n' Boats performing What a Fool Believes.

Now I'm convinced the real conference agenda item is seeing who ends up singing along the loudest on Tuesday night. 🎤😂

Go ahead and click the video. Chances are you'll be humming it the rest of the day.

If you're coming to the 2026 INHA Summer Conference, consider this your warning: Tuesday night is going to be a lot of fun.

I arrived this afternoon to something I’ve never seen at one of our conferences before.

The pipe and drape was already up.

The registration area was in place.

The expo hall was ready.

For months, this conference has existed in spreadsheets, floor plans, emails, and planning meetings. Today, it became real.

Thank you to Exagere for helping bring our vision to life. Tomorrow, we’ll open the doors and welcome long-term care leaders from across Mississippi.

Tonight, I’m just taking a moment to appreciate the transformation.

🇺🇸 Today, we celebrate Flag Day. 🇺🇸

On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States—a symbol that has represented our nation for nearly 250 years.

Flag Day provides an opportunity to reflect on the values our flag represents: freedom, unity, service, and the enduring spirit of the American people. It is also a time to honor the generations of men and women who have served and sacrificed under its banner.

As we recognize this important day, we are reminded that our strength as a nation comes from our shared commitment to the ideals that unite us.

Happy Flag Day! 🇺🇸
