Rainier Vista Care Center’s efforts are now receiving national recognition. Rainier Vista Care Center is a 2005 recipient of the American Health Care Association Quality Award.
There are approximately 16,000 nursing homes in the country. Rainier Vista Care Center is one of 134 long-term care facilities in 37 states and one of only three facilities in Washington that earned the Quality Award this year.
The AHCA Quality Award is modeled after criteria from the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, the nation’s premier recognition for quality achievement. The AHCA award recognizes commitment to a continuous quality improvement process. The facilities selected have made customer satisfaction and quality outcomes their top priority.
A ceremony for award recipients was conducted in October at the National AHCA Convention.
