Golden Age Nursing Facility was recognized as a 2019 recipient of the Silver – Achievement in Quality Award for its dedication to improving the lives of residents through quality care. The distinction is the second step in three progressive award levels through the National Quality Award Program, presented by the American Health Care Association (AHCA), the leading association for long term and post-acute care.
At the Silver Award level, applicants continue to learn and develop effective approaches that help improve performance and health care outcomes through a rigorous and thorough self-assessment of how their organization works, its effectiveness, and tools for improvement in their approaches.
The National Quality Award Program, which AHCA established in 1996, is based on the core values and criteria of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program. The program honors association members across the nation that have demonstrated their commitment to improving quality of care for seniors and persons with disabilities. The Baldridge program helps organizations in different business sectors improve and achieve performance excellence.
The Silver level gives a clear pathway for recipients moving to the highest honor of recognition, the Gold – Excellence in Quality Award.
