Kennett Square, Pennsylvania – Genesis Healthcare, Inc., one of the largest post-acute providers in the nation, announced that one of its affiliated locations, Lofland Park Center in Seaford, DE, has been recognized as 2024 recipients of the Gold – Excellence in Quality Award by the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL). The award is the final step in three progressive levels of awards through the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program, which recognizes high-quality long term and post-acute care organizations.
\r\n\r\n“Achieving the Gold – Excellence in Quality Award is a significant milestone and incredible honor for Lofland Park Center,” states Lauren Murray, Chief Operating Officer for Genesis HealthCare. “This award is a reflection of the hard work, passion, and dedication of the entire Lofland Park Center team and speaks to our ongoing commitment to providing exceptional care to our patients and residents.”
\r\n\r\nLofland Park Center is one of only two providers nationwide to receive the prestigious Gold – Excellence in Quality Award this year.
\r\n\r\nEarning the Gold - Excellence in Quality Award requires a facility to achieve both the Bronze - Commitment to Quality and Silver - Achievement in Quality awards before advancing to the Gold level—an accomplishment that takes several years. Applicants adhere to the core values and criteria of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, an organizational improvement tool that focuses on strengthening performance in leadership, customer- and staff-focused processes, strategic planning, and more.
\r\n\r\n“This recognition is a testament to the dedication, compassion, and tireless efforts over the years by these incredible providers,” said Cathy Bergland, AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Board Chair. “Lofland Park Center deserves to be celebrated for their unwavering focus on delivering high-quality care and outcomes for their residents and staff.”
\r\n\r\nThe National Quality Awards will be presented during Delivering Solutions 24, the AHCA/NCAL Convention & Expo, October 6-9, 2024, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
