Awards & Accolades
At Cedar Hill, we measure our success by the lives we touch in the care we provide for our residents. However, we must admit, it’s gratifying to be recognized by our peers for a job well done. Here are a few of our awards and accolades.
Medicare.gov Nursing Home Compare
allows consumers to compare information about nursing homes. It contains quality of care information on every Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing home in the country, including over 15,000 nationwide. The Star Rating is updated quarterly. Cedar Hill's nursing home consistently receives a 5-star rating.
U.S. News Best Nursing Homes
Every year U.S. News highlights the top nursing homes in each state in nearly 100 major metropolitan areas. Data for this award is drawn from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that sets and enforces standards for nursing homes. The “Best Nursing Home” designation is given to skilled centers that recently earned an overall rating of five stars, the agency’s highest. Each skilled center is also rated separately on quality of care, health-inspections record, and level of nurse staffing. Cedar Hill consistently receives top reviews.
American Health Care Association National Quality Award
The National Quality Awards are presented annually by the American Health Care Association (AHCA) and National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL) to recognize long-term care providers that demonstrate excellence in performance. Award levels are based on criteria adopted from the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA) Health Care Criteria for Performance Excellence. Both facilities have earned the Bronze award, which is the first of three distinctions possible through the National Quality Award Program.
Vermont Health Care Association DAIL Quality Incentive Award
In 2015, Cedar Hill was the recipient of the DAIL (Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living) Quality Incentive Award, which recognizes outstanding nursing homes that have met high standards of quality care for their residents. The award is granted based on results of health and life safety surveys, cost effectiveness, a lack of substantiated complaints and resident satisfaction survey results. The award, offered annually to nursing homes in Vermont meeting certain criteria, looks at resident and family satisfaction, state survey results, participation and data entry into the National Advancing Excellence Quality Program, and lack of family complaints.
In 2016 Cedar Hill Founder Mary Louise Sayles was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award for her lifetime of service to seniors. In 2017 Cedar Hill won three more awards at the Annual Banquet. See our blog for the full stories.
