Putting the 'Home' in Nursing Home

Jane Stevens 7/14/144:00 AM

Mealtime. Naptime. Bath time. Bedtime. Everything is on a schedule for residents in a traditional nursing home, leaving little flexibility for personal decision making.

But LaVrene Norton is working to change that.

Norton is founder and president of Action Pact, a national consulting firm. It specializes in helping retirement communities and nursing homes train staff and design their facilities to feel and be more like living at home. Since beginning work on the “household model” in 1984, Norton has helped design hundreds of these communities.
