I believe one of the best ways to enhance the quality of care in nursing homes around the world is to share our best practices. Today I’m featuring programs that recently won Best Practice Awards in North Carolina.

These awards are given out by the Friends of Residents in Long Term Care. They recognize nursing home programs that promote person-centered values, support the rights of residents, and improve quality of care.

I’m including a link to the website of each nursing home. This allows you to contact the facilities directly for more information about their award-winning programs.

Today I’m featuring four nursing homes that have won OPTIMA awards. Sponsored by the publication I Advance Senior Care, these national awards honor organizations that provide exceptional programming and person-centered care. As before, I’m including a link to each of the winning facilities, so you can contact them directly for more information.

Today I’ll highlight a few of my favorites from the past several years. As before, I’ll include a link to each facility so you can contact them directly for more information.

The other day I stumbled upon a series of articles about Best Practices awards presented by the Alabama Nursing Home Association. It was fascinating to read about the creative programs nursing homes are developing to enrich the lives of their residents.

I chose a few of my favorite submissions from the past several years to share with you today. I’ll also include links to each nursing home’s website. This will enable you to contact them if you wish to learn more about their innovative programs.
