River Mist, assisted living by Americare was elevated to Silver Level of the company’s Honor Club for 2023 at Americare’s annual awards ceremony.
Communities with Honor Club distinction meet very narrow award criteria in each of the four philosophy areas: resident service, employee service, community service and fiscal responsibility. These communities are seen as the company’s “best of the best,” according to a press release from Americare.
The administrator and director of nursing from Honor Club communities participate on a corporate advisory committee that researches new technologies and quality improvement initiatives. Honor Club membership runs June to June each year. Only 15% of Americare’s communities are Honor Club members.
“Our Honor Club achievement is the result of a team effort,” said Sheryl Mahy, administrator for River Mist Assisted Living. “It belongs to the entire staff. Each day we work hard to deliver person-centered care and to operate in a way that is true to Americare’s philosophy. We’re very proud to have been recognized for our efforts.”
The company considers a nomination in any one category quite an achievement, said Americare President Michael Hammond.
“The community that actually wins the award is simply the best of the best and truly reflects quality that has made Americare a trusted name in eldercare services,” he added.
River Mist is located at 2050 W. Maud and is licensed by the state of Missouri.
