Belvedere Senior Housing Honored with 2025 AHCA/NCAL Silver National Quality Award

Belvedere Senior Housing has been recognized as a 2025 Silver – Achievement in Quality Award recipient by the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL). This prestigious award is the second of three distinctions available through the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program, which honors long-term and post-acute care providers that demonstrate a strong commitment to improving the lives of residents and staff through quality performance and continuous improvement.

“Earning the Silver award is an incredible honor for our team,” said Stephanie Westphal of Belvedere Senior Housing. “This achievement underscores our dedication to enhancing the quality of care and services we provide to our residents every day. We are proud of our progress and look forward to continuing our journey toward excellence.”

The AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program follows a three-level progression: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. At the Silver level, recipients must demonstrate effective approaches that drive performance and health outcomes. Trained examiners rigorously review each application to determine whether the organization has met the high standards required for this distinction.

“Earning the Silver award is no small feat, and Belvedere Senior Housing has demonstrated exceptional commitment to quality improvement,” said Cathy Bergland, AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Board Chair. “This recognition is a clear reflection of their hard work and unwavering focus on delivering superior care and service to their residents and staff.”

Belvedere Senior Housing will be formally recognized at Delivering Solutions 25, the AHCA/NCAL Convention & Expo, held on October 19–22, 2025, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The 2025 National Quality Award Program is sponsored by AHCA/NCAL Associate Business Members: HealthCap, McKesson, Rosie, Incite Workforce Solutions powered by SnapCare, and Prevail by First Quality.
