Bridgeway Care and Rehabilitation at Hillsborough, Avalon Assisted Living at Bridgewater and Avalon Assisted Living at Hillsborough, part of the Bridgeway Senior Healthcare family of companies, have been recognized as 2024 recipients of the Bronze – Commitment to Quality Award by the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL) for commitment to improving the lives of residents through quality care. This distinction is the first of three progressive award levels through the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program. The Program honors providers across the nation that have demonstrated their dedication to enhancing the quality of care for our nation’s elders and individuals with disabilities. “We are proud to receive the AHCA/NCAL Bronze Quality Awards for our commitment to quality. Through our continuum of care and dedication to excellence, we strive to deliver the high quality care needed to elevate the lives of our residents,” said Jessica Pelligrino Tsoukalas, Executive Vice President, Bridgeway Senior Healthcare. “We’re excited to go to Orlando in October to celebrate with the other recipients,” she added. The AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program is a rigorous three-level process reviewed and evaluated by trained experts against a set of nationally recognized standards for organizational excellence. The standards of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program help organizations achieve superior performance over time to improve the quality of life and care of long-term care residents. Providers begin the quality improvement journey at the Bronze level, where they develop an organizational profile detailing among other elements their vision, mission, key customers, and key strengths and challenges. Bronze applicants must demonstrate the use of a performance improvement system. Trained examiners review each application to determine if a center has met the demands of the criteria. As a recipient of the Bronze - Commitment to Quality award, Bridgeway Senior Healthcare may now move forward to the Silver - Achievement in Quality award criteria. “Receiving this award marks the beginning of an exciting journey towards excellence,” said Cathy Bergland, AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Board Chair. “Congratulations to Bridgeway Senior Healthcare and its family of companies for this significant achievement. I encourage you to take some time to celebrate and continue striving for higher levels of quality and performance.” The National Quality Awards will be presented during Delivering Solutions 24, the AHCA/NCAL Convention & Expo, October 6-9, 2024, in Orlando, Florida.
