The Quality of Life Awards recognize and celebrate culture change efforts.   There is a national movement underway to grow a new culture amongst nursing homes:  A culture that improves quality of life through transforming a facility into a home, a patient into a person, and a schedule into a choice. 

 

Award Recipients

Four NH Nursing Homes were presented the Quality of Life Award on April 11, 2007, in Concord, NH.  This prestigious award  is given based on:
