Clermont Park is proud to announce that our award-winning skilled nursing neighborhood has earned the 2025 Silver – Achievement in Quality Award through the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL) National Quality Award Program. This prestigious national recognition honors long-term and post-acute care providers that demonstrate an ongoing commitment to improving the quality of care and services they provide.
As the only community in Colorado to receive the Silver Quality Award in 2025, this achievement reflects Clermont Park’s dedication to delivering exceptional skilled nursing care while continually looking for new ways to enhance the resident and family experience.
What Does the Silver Quality Award Mean for Residents and Families?
Choosing a skilled nursing community is one of the most important healthcare decisions a family can make. While awards alone should never determine that decision, national recognition can provide reassurance that a community not only focuses on providing excellent care today but also looks for opportunities for continued growth and improvement.
The Silver – Achievement in Quality Award is the second of three progressive levels in the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program. It is based on the Baldrige Performance Excellence Framework, a nationally recognized approach that helps healthcare organizations strengthen leadership, improve operations, and deliver better long-term outcomes.
Communities that earn the Silver Award have already demonstrated their commitment to quality through the Bronze Award before completing an even more comprehensive evaluation of leadership, workforce engagement, strategic planning, resident outcomes, and organizational performance. While residents and families may never see the evaluation process behind the award, they experience its impact every day through compassionate care and thoughtful communication from a dedicated team.
What Makes Clermont Park’s Award-Winning Skilled Nursing Neighborhood Unique?
Receiving the Silver Quality Award is an important accomplishment, but the true measure of quality is found in the relationships built every day among residents, families, and team members. Those everyday interactions are what transform excellent clinical care into a welcoming community where people feel respected, supported, and at home.
At Clermont Park, a resident-directed philosophy guides our skilled nursing care. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, our team members partner with residents and their families to develop individualized care plans that honor each person’s priorities, preferences, and goals. Decisions are made together to help residents maintain dignity, independence, and quality of life while receiving the clinical support they need.
Whether someone is recovering after a hospitalization, receiving rehabilitation services, or requires long-term skilled nursing care, residents are supported by an experienced interdisciplinary team. Nurses, therapists, social workers, life enrichment professionals, dining services, and other team members collaborate to create an uplifting environment that supports whole-person well-being.
Clermont Park’s approach extends beyond excellent clinical care. We embrace a culture of Citizenship, recognizing that every resident has strengths and experience to contribute to the community. Residents are encouraged to remain engaged in community life, build meaningful relationships, and participate in activities that reflect their individual interests and abilities. This philosophy helps create a welcoming neighborhood where people are known as individuals rather than defined by their healthcare needs.
Older adults may benefit from Clermont Park’s skilled nursing neighborhood if they:
- Need 24-hour skilled nursing care and clinical oversight
- Are recovering after an illness, injury, or hospitalization
- Would benefit from physical, occupational, or speech therapy
Families are also an important part of the care journey. Regular communication, collaborative care planning, and trusted relationships help families stay informed and involved while providing peace of mind that their loved one is receiving compassionate, personalized care.
Every resident’s journey is unique, which is why care at Clermont Park is designed to adapt as needs change over time. Some residents may require short-term skilled nursing services while recovering from an illness or hospitalization. In contrast, others benefit from long-term support that allows them to remain in a familiar, caring environment. Throughout every stage, the focus remains the same: honoring each resident’s preferences, promoting independence whenever possible, and helping every individual experience comfort, purpose, and the highest possible quality of life.
A Commitment to Continuous Improvement
One of the reasons the Silver Quality Award is so meaningful is that it recognizes an ongoing commitment rather than a single accomplishment.
At Clermont Park, continuous improvement means listening to residents and families, investing in team members’ education, evaluating care practices, and continually seeking ways to enhance various aspects of the resident experience. That commitment enables the skilled nursing neighborhood to evolve alongside the changing needs of residents.
While national recognition is certainly an honor, the greatest reward is partnering with residents to offer thoughtful, high-quality care that emphasizes dignity and purpose.
