Blue Hills Alzheimer’s Care Center Named Recipient of AHCA Quality Award
Blue Hills Alzheimer’s Care Center’s efforts are now receiving national recognition. Blue Hills Alzheimer’s Care Center is a 2005 recipient of the American Health Care Association Quality Award.
There are approximately 16,000 nursing homes in the country. Blue Hills Alzheimer’s Care Center is one of 123 long-term care facilities in 37 states and one of only 13 facilities in Massachusetts that earned the Step I Quality Award this year. AHCA Quality Awards consist of an entry level Step I Award; a more rigorous Step II Award; and the comprehensive Step III Award.
The AHCA Quality Award is modeled after criteria from the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, the nation’s premier recognition for quality achievement. The AHCA award recognizes commitment to a continuous quality improvement process. The facilities selected have made customer satisfaction and quality outcomes their top priority.
A ceremony for award recipients was conducted in October at the National AHCA Convention.
