Aegis Therapies and Nautilus have joined together to develop Freedom Through Functionality, a unique strength building program for the elderly. It is modeled after a clinical study proving that the most effective way to increase elders' independence and functionality is through a regular program of strength building. Freedom Through Functionality is designed to benefit elder outcome and quality of life. Asbury Park was the first facility in the state of Kansas to offer the Freedom Through Functionality program!

Intergenerational Programming in Partnership with Newton Community Child Care Center
Asbury Park is proud to be the home of Asbury Station, an affiliation of Newton Community Child Care Center, providing an opportunity for elders and children to interact on a daily basis. This interaction encourages the elders to feel younger and more energized. It grants them an opportunity to interact with not only other elders, but also with teachers, children and their families. Elders realize they still have the ability to nurture and educate during the intergenerational activities. Asbury Park and Newton Community Child Care Center have created a remarkable partnership for the benefit of all ages.
Asbury Station classes began on May 3, 2010 with a Pre-Kindergarten class. This fall they hope to expand to include a toddler program. Valerie Romero is the director of Asbury Station and can be reached at (316) 283-4770 ext. 120.
