Ciena Healthcare, a leading manager and operator of skilled nursing and rehabilitation communities in Michigan, announces Willowbrook Manor in Flint, is a recipient of the prestigious Silver-Achievement in Quality National Quality Award.

    FARMINGTON HILLS, MI, September 11, 2011 /Seniors PR News/ -- Ciena Healthcare, a leading manager and operator of skilled nursing and rehabilitation communities in Michigan and Connecticut, announces Willowbrook Manor, its skilled nursing community in Flint, is a recipient of the prestigious Silver-Achievement in Quality National Quality Award from The American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL). The announcement was made by Mohammad Qazi, president, Ciena Healthcare.

Willowbrook Manor was honored for its outstanding performance in the health care profession, highlighting select facilities across the U.S. that serve as models of excellence for providing high quality long term care. Willowbrook Manor is the first Ciena Healthcare community to earn a Silver rating.

"All of us at Ciena Healthcare are very proud of this tremendous accomplishment Willowbrook Manor has achieved," said Qazi. "This Silver level quality award is indicative of the high quality care provided, and a testament to our staff who, on a daily basis, go above and beyond to provide a home-like atmosphere to our patients and residents."

Willowbrook Manor, a prior Bronze Award recipient, is a five-star rated skilled nursing community.

Implemented by AHCA/NCAL in 1996, the National Quality Award Program is based on the criteria of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program, which assists providers of long term and post-acute care services in achieving their performance goals. The Program has three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. First achieving Bronze status, Silver honorees must demonstrate a level of quality achievement through good performance outcomes that have evolved from the facility's ability to embrace the core values and concepts of visionary leadership, a focus on the future and resident-focused excellence.

"Our administrator Ryan Michelson and his staff at Willowbrook Manor are to be commended for their commitment to upholding the high standards set forth by the AHCA/NCAL and our own stringent internal standards at Ciena Healthcare," added Qazi.

The award will be presented to the administrators of Willowbrook Manor during ACHA/NCAL's 62nd Annual Convention and Exposition, September 18-21, 2011 in Las Vegas, NV.
