The center earned the American Health Care Association and the National Center for Assisted Living’s (AHCA/NCAL) Bronze – Commitment to Quality, National Quality Award in recognition of the facility’s commitment to continuous quality improvement.

“The AHCA/NCAL Quality Awards … are the most prestigious recognition of quality within the long-term care profession,” said Mark Parkinson, governor, president and CEO of AHCA/NCAL. “I applaud North Auburn Rehabilitation & Health Center for its commitment to delivering quality care. This award represents the dedication that each bronze recipient has given to improve quality in the long-term and post-acute care profession.”
