La Porte City Specialty Care earns National Quality Achievement Award
La Porte City Specialty Care has been selected as a 2018 recipient of the Silver – Achievement in Quality Award in recognition of their commitment to improving the lives of residents through quality care. The award is one of three distinct awards possible through the National Quality Award Program, presented by the American Health Care Association and the National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL). The competitive award program highlights select centers across the nation that serve as models of excellence in providing high-quality long term and post-acute care.
“We are all so proud of this recognition,” said Administrator Pamela Tallman. “The key to our success is our committed team. Their hard work and dedication to improving the lives of the residents we care for every day is why we are in this position. We are dedicated to and looking ahead to the next level.”
