PEAK
The Promoting Excellent Alternatives in Kansas (PEAK) 
program promotes and supports culture change in nursing homes as they pursue person-directed care in the areas of resident control, staff empowerment, home environment, and community involvement. The two components of PEAK are recognition and education. KDOA annually recognizes nursing home person-directed care initiatives. KDOA has partnered with Kansas State University's Center on Aging to provide the education component, which includes developing resources and training nursing home staff in how to begin and sustain the culture change journey.
