(KAIR--)Both Atchison Senior Village and the Dooley Center have been recognized by the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services for excellence in providing person-centered care, according to a press release from KDADs.
Atchison Senior Village was one of six nursing homes in the state recognized for person-centered care.
While the Dooley Center, was one of three recognized for person-centered care as well as a Mentor Home for its mentorship program.
The release explained that person-centered nursing homes have shifted from the institutional model of what a nursing home is and moved to a home-like model where residents have more control of what happens in their day-to-day lives.
Interim Secretary for KDADs Timothy Keck congratulated the nursing homes for their achievement and said they have a unique way of improving the seniors’ quality of life.
