2023 AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program Year Is Open (SNF/AL)
The AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program is now open for the 2023 application year. For the first time, application packets are available three months earlier than previous years so that skilled nursing care centers and assisted living communities can begin to prepare. We encourage members to take advantage of this additional time to download application packets and materials and to begin planning, reviewing and gathering relevant data.
WHY APPLY
The National Quality Award Program is a rigorous three-level process (Bronze, Silver, and Gold) that evaluates an organization’s capabilities against nationally recognized standards for excellence. The program provides a pathway to improved outcomes in areas including care, workforce, leadership and operations.
