About a dozen seniors who live at Bel-Wood released a balloon this afternoon in honor of National Nursing Home Week.

This year's theme for the week is "Love is Ageless."

This is Belwood's fourth annual balloon release.

The event is one of many activities the residents will take part in during the national celebration.
