Owner of CMS and DPHC, Vickie Adorno
Vickie’s career began as a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist, specializing in adaptive equipment and brain injury, acquired through a Bachelor of Science program through the School of Nursing at the University of Southern Maine. The project Vickie chose for her required internship was to mainstream 17 geriatric patients from the Augusta Mental Health Institute into a small town community within six months. The program was a great success in which all 17 patients, though trying at times, acclimated to their new surroundings and became slowly accepted by the residents of the community. From this project, Vickie realized that the true meaning of “home” is the comfort and security that someone feels in their “home” environment.
Vickie’s career continued at the Center for Brain Injury in Kennebunkport, Maine for the next six years. Here, she learned to put all the components of her training into action. In this environment, Vickie worked with the social/emotional, socio-economic, physical, and mental/cognitive pieces of her training. It is this part of Vickie’s career where she truly acknowledged the compassion that she felt in helping people acquire the lifestyle that they deserved.
In 1996, Vickie moved from Maine to Connecticut and worked on the psychiatric floor of Middlesex Hospital, in Middletown. Vickie embraced this journey as she developed empathy for the many unfortunate situations that people faced in being homeless, living in unacceptable situations or being moved from one facility to another. There were several elderly people whom Vickie became close to and realized that she wanted to go back to assisting aging people to grow “old” ( a relative term!) with dignity and respect.
In 2001, Vickie completed the 2 year, postgraduate, Nursing Home Administrator Program. Six months later, Vickie passed the board exams and acquired her license to be a nursing home administrator in Connecticut. Vickie’s goal as a nursing home administrator was to make each nursing home a place where her own parents, one day, could live with the respect, dignity, independence and comfort that they deserved. Vickie realized that nursing homes are good for many, but others want to return/stay at home. To balance these outcomes, Vickie developed in 2010 a concept for care management, nursing care and homemaker/companion care to come together. This concept became Care Management Solutions and Dignity Plus Home Care: A concept designed to deliver the highest level of personal care and care management at a competitive price.
