On May 3, 2007, the Secretary on Aging, Kathy Greenlee presented the PEAK awards at the Governor's Conference on Aging Services. 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 on PEAK are recognition and education. KDOA annually recognizes nursing home person-directed care initiatives. This is the fifth year in a row that Pleasant View Home has received this recognition, and the only facility in the state to have won the award this many times.
