Assisted living center’s director to get award

Good news keeps coming Sue Brown’s way. Tuesday, she was named Director of the Year by the Kansas Health Care Association.

“Wow, what a year,” said Brown, director of Baldwin City’s Vintage Park Assisted Living. “I am very honored to have been selected to receive this award. There are many assisted living facilities in Kansas, and I know that all the directors are deserving of being honored.”

Brown will receive the award during the KCHA conference in Wichita on Oct. 13-14. That’s one week after she’ll pick up Vintage Park’s National Quality Award in Chicago. That was from the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living.

That’s not all. Earlier in the summer, Vintage Park was recognized for its fifth straight year of attaining a deficiency-free survey from the Kansas Department on Aging.

Vintage Park is a 38-unit facility at 321 Crimson Ave. that offers 24-hour staffing.
