Many people view long-term care facilities as stagnant, boring places. This is so far from the truth! While researching for my blog, I’m discovering an astounding number of unique and creative programs that enrich the lives of residents.

Today let’s look at 4 facilities that have won awards from the International Council on Active Aging. These awards honor organizations that show excellence and creativity in designing programs for older adults.

I’ve included a link to each facility. This allows you to contact them directly for more information.

Over the past several months, I’ve highlighted innovative nursing home programs that have won a variety of awards. Today let’s look at four assisted living facilities that received “Best of the Best” awards over the past few years.

“Best of the Best” awards are granted annually by Argentum (formerly the Assisted Living Foundation of America). They recognize senior living facilities that promote the principles of choice, independence, dignity, and quality of life.

As in previous articles, I’ll include a link to each facility. This way, you can contact them directly for more detailed information.

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.

Out of all the topics I write about for my blog, I believe this one has become my favorite. That’s because it’s so much fun to read about all the amazing programs nursing homes come up with to enrich the lives of their residents.

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.

I’m happy to report that there was lots of interest in last month’s article about nursing homes in Alabama nominated for Best Practices awards. So, I was excited to discover that a similar program exists in Australia. Except they call their awards “Better Practices”.

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.
