November 10, 2026 – The Health Center at Toby & Leon Cooperman Sinai Residences has received the 2026 recipient of the Silver – Achievement in Quality Award from the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL) for demonstrating systematic growth in quality care. This Silver award is the second of three progressive levels in the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program, which honors long-term and post-acute care providers across the nation that have demonstrated their dedication to enhancing quality care for the residents they serve.
The program is a rigorous, three-level process in which trained examiners evaluate organizations against the nationally recognized Baldrige Performance Excellence Framework, a model that helps providers strengthen performance, improve outcomes and enhance resident care. To earn Silver, an organization must show how it systematically improves performance and achieves results through effective approaches deployed throughout the organization.
“At Sinai Residences, quality is not simply a goal or an initiative. It is a core value that guides the work we do every day,” said Angela Marino-Ortiz, vice president of clinical services at Toby & Leon Cooperman Sinai Residences. “This award reflects our commitment to delivering safe, compassionate, resident-centered care while continuously evaluating our practices and seeking opportunities to improve. We believe that excellence is a journey, not a destination, and we remain dedicated to learning, growing and raising the standard of care for those we serve.”
“Congratulations to this year’s Silver recipients on reaching this level in the Quality Award journey,” said AHCA/NCAL President and CEO Clif Porter. “These providers have built strong systems, embraced continuous improvement and are making a measurable difference in the lives of those they serve. As we look to a future that will ask more of providers as demand for care increases, this commitment to excellence will serve as a critical foundation.”
As a not-for-profit continuing care retirement community, Sinai Residences offers independent living, while its Health Center provides assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing and short-term rehabilitation.
The 2026 recipients were honored at Delivering Solutions 26, the AHCA/NCAL Convention & Expo, held Oct. 11-14 in Boston. This year also marks the 30th anniversary of the National Quality Award Program. Since its launch in 1996, more than 8,000 providers nationwide have taken part in the Baldrige-based program to strengthen their operations, improve outcomes and enhance the lives of residents and staff. The 2026 National Quality Award Program is supported by AHCA/NCAL Associate Business Members McKesson, Prevail by First Quality, Incite Workforce Solutions Powered by SnapCare and HealthCap.
