Louisville, KY – On Thursday, November 21, the Kentucky Association of Health Care Facilities/Kentucky Center for Assisted Living/Kentucky Senior Living Association (KAHCF/KCAL/KSLA) recognized top long-term care leaders and heroes in Kentucky at their quality awards banquet. Tabatha Mann from West Liberty Nursing and Rehab was honored to be a part of this elite group of leaders in the industry.

“We were honored to be able to recognize the strength and resilience of our health care heroes. It is a special group of people who dedicate their lives to providing outstanding care and compassion to their residents,” said KAHCF/KCAL/KSLA President Adam Mather. “This recognition is a testament to their dedication to their residents.”

The KAHCF/KCAL Quality Awards winners are nominated by their facility. Nominations are then scored blindly by long-term care veterans and mentors. This year, nearly 250 nominations were submitted for the Quality Awards.

Long-term care and assisted living providers from across the state attended the Annual Meeting & Expo to celebrate 70 years of the Association. Participants furthered their knowledge of senior care with a variety of educational options including strategies to cope with stress on the job, hiring and retaining quality staff and regulatory issues. More than 100 vendors exhibited during the expo showcasing the latest innovations to provide quality care.
