How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Dual-Model Adult Day Care Integrating Medical and Social Needsmethodology: dual_model_adult_day_careBy offering both medical and social adult day services, WARTBURG supports overall well-being and quality of life because integrating health monitoring with recreational and therapeutic activities addresses the full spectrum of seniors’ physical, emotional, and social needs.
- Integrated and Proactive Care Delivery Across Settingsmethodology: proactive_care_modelBy delivering coordinated, proactive care both on campus and in-home across Westchester County, WARTBURG meets diverse senior needs earlier and more effectively because anticipating challenges and reducing service fragmentation improves outcomes and enables aging in place.
- PERMA-H Model for Scientifically Grounded Wellbeing Programmingmethodology: perma_h_modelBy applying an adapted version of Seligman’s PERMA model—including Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishment, and Health—WARTBURG structures wellbeing initiatives to produce measurable improvements in resident mental and emotional health because the framework is evidence-based and holistic.
- Person-Centered Care with Resident Autonomymethodology: person_centered_careBy centering care on individual residents' meaningful life connections and prioritizing their autonomy in daily choices, WARTBURG supports sustained health and wellbeing because personal agency and emotional continuity enhance engagement and quality of life.
- Purpose-Built Design and Household Model for Memory Caremethodology: household_model_memory_careBy using a household model within a purpose-built memory care facility, WARTBURG enhances safety, comfort, and wellbeing because familiar, home-like environments with private living spaces reduce disorientation and support emotional stability in residents with cognitive impairments.
