Gardant Communities Shine with 2025 National Quality Award

Celebrating Excellence in Assisted Living with Gardant

Gardant has achieved a significant milestone by having thirteen of its assisted living communities awarded the prestigious 2025 Bronze – Commitment to Quality Award by the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL). This award acknowledges the unwavering dedication of these communities toward enhancing the quality of life for residents. It is the first of three progressive award levels in the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program, designed to honor organizations committed to providing exceptional care.

Recognizing the Award-Winning Communities

We are thrilled to announce the Gardant-managed communities that have received this esteemed recognition:

Carriage Court Recognition

Carriage Court of Grove City earned its first Bronze Award, marking a noteworthy achievement for this affordable assisted living community. It consists of 57 private apartments aimed at serving low-income seniors aged 65 and over.

St. Anthony of Lansing

Located in Lansing, St. Anthony serves 125 adults aged 65 and above, offering quality care in an affordable living environment.

Oasis at 30th and Heritage Woods

Oasis at 30th in Indianapolis encompasses 124 private apartments for adults 55 and older, while Heritage Woods of Benton provides a supportive setting for seniors 65 and older, housing 100 apartments ranging from studios to two-bedrooms.

Community Contributions and Recognition

In addition to the above honors, communities like Oasis at 56th and Heritage Woods of McHenry have also made significant strides for their residents. Each facility strives to ensure seniors receive the support they need to thrive. For instance, Grand Prairie of Macomb offers 86 private apartments, while Brookstone Estates of Mattoon North focuses on helping older adults maintain their independence.

Understanding the Commitment to Quality

The National Quality Award Program has been a cornerstone for organizations aiming for excellence in care. Through this structured evaluation process, facilities develop an organizational profile emphasizing their vision, mission, and strengths.

Impact of Awards on Future Improvements

Those achieving the Bronze Award now have the opportunity to progress towards the Silver level, which focuses on advanced quality performance. With this recognition, communities demonstrate their achievements and continuous efforts to enhance service for seniors.
