Governor's Award for Quality Care
Each year, thousands of Iowans receive compassionate care in nursing facilities, residential care facilities, and intermediate care facilities serving persons with mental illness or intellectual disabilities. Too often, these facilities, their staff, and the quality services they provide go unnoticed by the general public. The GOVERNOR’S AWARD FOR QUALITY CARE was designed to publicly recognize those facilities that demonstrate the highest quality of care and commitment to their residents.
These facilities deserve to be recognized for their achievements. If you know of a licensed long-term care facility in Iowa that excels in providing quality care to its residents, please take this opportunity to download the PDF form to nominate that facility for the GOVERNOR’S AWARD FOR QUALITY CARE. Or, click the link below to complete and submit the nomination form online.
Nominations must be postmarked by March 1, 2021.
