BATH — HillHouse Assisted Living has been recognized as a 2013 recipient of the Bronze Commitment to Quality award for its dedication to improving the lives of residents through improved quality care.

The award is one of three distinctions possible through the National Quality Award program, presented by the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living.

“In an age of changing health care, HillHouse Assisted Living has remained committed to prioritizing quality care above all else,” said Mark Parkinson, president and CEO of AHCA/NCAL. “This facility is an example of the great things that can be accomplished when we commit to person-centered care.”

Implemented by AHCA/NCAL in 1996, the award program is centered on the core values and criteria of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program. The program assists providers of long-term and postacute care services in achieving their performance excellence goals.

HillHouse Assisted Living was one of 361 facilities in the nation and among nine in Maine to receive the bronze-level award. The award will be presented to HillHouse during AHCA/NCAL’s 64th annual Convention and Exposition on Oct. 6-9, 2013, in Phoenix, Ariz.
