Life, Well Run Community Hero - Frank Bassett
A Hero in elder care for Livingston County, New York, Franklin Bassett was instrumental in the vision, building, and now the operation of a 266-bed skilled nursing facility and adult daycare program.
His commitment to quality, caring, and directional strategies to anticipate the aging needs of Livingston County, with the support of an engaged board of supervisors, helped pioneer a form of care that was highly innovative. In 2005, two county facilities were replaced with the new LCCNR, which is comprised of 12-bed family units. Four family units make a neighborhood and each is its own free-standing nursing home. The vision the county embraced was the construction of a home where “Residents have control over their daily routine.”
