Coalition for Nursing Home Excellence

The vision and mission statements were developed by the co-leaders and the stakeholders of the Coalition to address the issues related to the care of the elderly in Arkansas.

Vision:  Create nursing homes in which the elderly, frail, and disabled will experience the highest quality of life.

Mission:  To change the course of care in nursing homes by addressing immediate and long term needs. Long-term care for those who require nursing home settings will be: 

  • person-centered to respond to unique conditions and choices

  • adequately staffed by a well-trained, empathetic well-compensated workforce
  • community-based to engage rather than isolate
  • technologically advanced

Goal 1: Person Directed Care will be implemented in nursing homes in Arkansas.

Goal 2: Person Directed Care will be supported by systems in place to sustain continuous quality improvement.

Goal 3: An interdisciplinary team that is knowledgeable, empathetic and cost effective will implement Person Directed Care.

Goal 4: Evaluate the quality and cost benefit outcomes of Person Directed Care as implemented in Arkansas.

Co-Leaders:

    Dr. Cornelia Beck

    Dr. Claudia Beverly
