LAKEVIEW VILLAGE TO RECEIVE EXCELLENCE IN SERVICE DIVERSIFICATION AWARD

Lakeview Village will receive the 2011 Excellence in Service Diversification Award from the Kansas Association of Homes and Services for the Aging as part of their annual Quality First Awards of Excellence Ceremony on May 6, 2011 at the Hyatt Regency in Wichita at 9:15 a.m. The award will be presented by Bonnie Bing of the Wichita Eagle.

This award is presented to KAHSA members who are committed to expanding services to meet elder’s needs where they are or in a place they call home. The target population served by KAHSA members is changing and they desire to receive services when and where they need them. Winning organizations understand the unmet needs of the senior population in their community and provide services that fulfill those needs.

Lakeview Village is being honored for their Eastside Terrace Project which provides Assisted Living and short-term rehabilitation to their residents and the greater Kansas City area. The project reflects the culture and philosophy of Lakeview which emphasizes whole-person wellness and person-centered care.

In addition to offering short-term rehabilitation and Assisted Living options, Eastside Terrace also features a hydro-therapy pool, an indoor saltwater pool, a media lounge, fitness center, bistro dining area, a resident art gallery and Shawnee Mission Medical Center’s new onsite specialized Geriatric Center.

“The Eastside Project is an excellent addition to the services and supports already provided by Lakeview Village,” states Debra Zehr, KAHSA president. “We applaud Jamie Frazier and his team for meeting the needs of their residents and the greater community of Lenexa.”
