Manhattan, Kansas-based Action Pact, internationally known for its innovations in senior living, is pleased to announce their purchase of Maple Heights in Hiawatha as of December 1st.
Action Pact is bringing its trademark Household Model to Hiawatha with this purchase with plans to replace the building with new construction in mid to late 2018 with residential suites designed to reflect family-style living with 20 private residences within each household, at which time the community will be renamed.
Priorities for Action Pact include installation of new technology – both software and hardware, introduction of Action pact operating systems, and staff training. Denise Wolney will continue as Administrator. Chef-prepared made-to-order meals are served at the resident’s request and not in a cafteria-style environment at set times. “Maple Heights has a group of very dedicated employees and we are pleased they are all now part of the Action Pact family,” said LaVrene Norton, Action Pact Community Leader and Co-Founder.
“We are excited to become part of the Hiawatha community. We have felt very welcomed by Maple Heights and the broader community and we look forward to the future together, noted Steve Shields, CEO and Co-Founder of Action Pact.
Action Pact plans to turn the community into a neighborhood that encourages individuals to live life on their own terms, with the support of highly-trained staff members. Their mission is to create a deep sense of connectivity between elders, their family and friends, and the community they live in.
The development is owned, designed and managed by Action Pact and will replace the existing Maple Heights facility with Action Pact’s proprietary households in the first phase. The project will offer a culture of wellness, quality of life, dignity, privacy, and connectivity for individuals who need healthcare and assistance with daily activities, including those with memory loss.
