The Bronze – Commitment to Quality Award is the first of three progressive levels within the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program. The program recognizes long-term and post-acute care providers across the nation that have demonstrated their dedication to improving quality care and enhancing the lives of the residents they serve.
“We are incredibly proud of the teams at each of these centers for earning this national recognition,” said Dr. Jessica Israel, Chief Medical & Innovation Officer. “This achievement reflects their unwavering commitment to quality, compassion and continuous improvement. Every day, these caregivers, clinicians and support teams work to create exceptional experiences for residents and families, and this award is a testament to their dedication.”
The AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program is a rigorous three-level process in which organizations are evaluated by trained experts against the Baldrige Performance Excellence Framework, a nationally recognized set of standards for organizational excellence. Providers begin their quality improvement journey at the Bronze level by developing an organizational profile that examines key aspects of performance, including leadership, strategy, customer focus and operational effectiveness.
“Having eight New Jersey centers recognized in a single year speaks to the culture of excellence our teams have built and sustained. Quality care is not a one-time achievement-it’s a daily commitment to our residents, patients and families. We are honored to see that commitment recognized on a national level,” Dr. Israel added.
The eight New Jersey recipients are among 14 Complete Care centers across New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware and Wisconsin to earn the 2026 Bronze – Commitment to Quality Award. The recognition underscores Complete Care’s ongoing investment in clinical excellence, resident experience, employee engagement and organizational performance.
“Earning the Bronze Quality Award reflects a strong commitment to continuous improvement and delivering quality care every day,” said AHCA/NCAL President and CEO Clif Porter. “Congratulations to this year’s recipients for taking this important step in the quality journey. We are excited to see all they will accomplish in the years ahead.”
This year, the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program proudly celebrates its 30th anniversary. Since its establishment in 1996, more than 8,000 providers across the country have participated in the rigorous Baldrige-based program to strengthen operations, improve outcomes and enhance the lives of residents and staff.
The 2026 National Quality Award recipients will be recognized during Delivering Solutions 26, the AHCA/NCAL Convention & Expo, October 11-14, 2026, in Boston, Massachusetts.
