Waltham, MA - Meadow Green Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in
Waltham is the recipient of the coveted American Health Care
Association’s 2010 Bronze National Quality Award. This prestigious
honor puts Meadow Green in a very exclusive category for health
care organizations. “We all worked very hard for this achievement
and feel very proud to be recognized as a high quality facility
that continually strives for the highest levels of quality care
for their residents,” said David Bell, Meadow Green’s longtime
Administrator.
The American Health Care Association (AHCA) has stringent
requirements for awards and only offers awards in tiers of
achievement, which can only be attained in graduated steps. Only 2
other Bronze awards were given in the Waltham geographical area
for 2010!. “This award tier is very difficult to achieve and we
understood that at the outset, but we believed our consistent
commitment to quality care would shine through. With our many
years of top level Mass DPH surveys and our ongoing efforts to
keep strong focus on each individual resident and their specific
needs, we made the commitment to enter the application process,”
continued Mr. Bell.
Meadow Green’s achievement will be honored, along with the other
Quality Award winners at the AHCA/NCAL Annual Convention held in
San Diego on October 10 – 13, 2010. Mr. Bell, Meadow Green’s
Administrator, will be attending the awards ceremony.
“We are so proud of Dave Bell and all our directors and staff for
their continual dedication to our residents and their care,” said
Tony Franchi, President of the Franchi group of health care
facilities. “We and the Meadow Green residents are so fortunate to
have staff that really want to give their best all day, every
day,” he continued.
Mr. Bell stated that while they feel honored to be recognized by
the AHCA, he and his directors are never satisfied with their
current level of achievement and will continue to strive to learn
about and implement new advances in equipment, technology and
one-on-one treatment measures to ensure that every Meadow Green
resident, whether short term or long term, gets the best care
possible.
