(KNZA)--It's good news for a Hiawatha assisted living facility, receiving a score of excellence following a review by the state.

The Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services announced Wednesday that Vintage Park at Hiawatha LLC received zero deficiencies as a result of an August 9th survey of the facility.

The Survey, Certification and Credentialing Commission promotes excellence in the health care and living conditions of more than 18,000 individuals residing in adult care homes.

Through ongoing annual evaluations, state surveyors ensure that residents receive care that meets acceptable standards and state regulations.

The Commission is required to survey all adult care homes within an overall 12 month average, with no individual facility exceeding 15 months. Licensed adult care homes include skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, residential care facilities, home plus, adult day care and intermediate care facilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
