The Health Center at Toby & Leon Cooperman Sinai Residences in Boca Raton has received a 2026 Silver Achievement in Quality Award from the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL). The award recognizes systematic growth in quality care.
Silver is the second of three levels in the program’s National Quality Award. Trained examiners judge applicants against the Baldrige Performance Excellence Framework, a management model used to strengthen performance and resident outcomes. To reach Silver, an organization must show it improves performance systematically and gets results through approaches used across the whole organization.
Angela Marino-Ortiz, vice president of clinical services at the residences, said quality is a core value at Sinai rather than a one-time initiative. AHCA/NCAL President and CEO Clif Porter congratulated this year’s Silver recipients and said the sector faces growing demand for care.
Sinai Residences is a not-for-profit continuing care retirement community. Its Health Center offers assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing and short-term rehabilitation. The campus also includes independent living.
The honorees were recognized Oct. 11 to 14 at the AHCA/NCAL convention in Boston. The National Quality Award Program marks its 30th anniversary this year and has included more than 8,000 providers since 1996.
