Recognition for a newly completed community care facility highlights the growing emphasis on quality performance in long-term and post-acute care environments. St. Anthony's Community Care Center has received a 2026 Silver Achievement in Quality Award from the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living.
St. Anthony's Community Care Center moved into the newly completed John A. Stassi II Community Care Center as part of the facility's transition.
The relocation provides the organization with a new physical setting while the center continues its long-term and post-acute care operations. The facility's recognition came as part of a national quality program that assesses organizational performance across participating care providers.
The Silver designation represents the second level of the National Quality Award Program, following the Bronze level and preceding the Gold level.
AHCA/NCAL's National Quality Award Program uses the Baldrige Performance Excellence Framework to evaluate long-term care and post-acute care providers.
In 2026, 255 organizations nationwide received Silver Quality Awards. Silver recipients can subsequently pursue the program's highest recognition, the Gold Excellence in Quality Award.
The program's progression gives participating organizations a structured framework for evaluating and improving operational performance over time.
For owners and construction teams involved in health care and senior-care facilities, facility quality extends beyond the physical building to the operational environment it supports.
The recognition of St. Anthony's following its move into a newly completed care center demonstrates how new health care construction can support organizations pursuing higher standards for service delivery and operational performance.
