The AHCA/NCAL Quality Award Program recognizes organizations that meet strict performance standards aimed at enhancing the lives of residents and staff in long-term and post-acute care facilities. Out of more than 15,000 facilities evaluated nationwide in 2024, only 709 received the Commitment to Quality Bronze Award, with 16 of those being in Texas. Notably, two of these award-winning facilities are VLB Texas State Veterans Homes operated by Touchstone Communities.
The Bronze Award is the initial step in the AHCA/NCAL Quality Award Program, allowing organizations to establish a solid foundation by defining their mission, vision, and other critical factors. After achieving the Bronze Award, facilities can pursue the Silver Award, which emphasizes organizational effectiveness and opportunities for improvement. The highest honor, the Gold Award, is reserved for organizations demonstrating superior leadership, strategic planning, and exceptional satisfaction among customers and staff.
