Five Georgia Care Centers. One Shared Commitment to Quality.
We have some news, and we are not shy about sharing it.
Last week, five Empire Care Centers locations were named 2026 Bronze Quality Award winners by the American Health Care Association. That is five teams, five communities, and one very big deal for skilled nursing care in Georgia.
Congratulations to Douglasville Center, Marietta Center, Sandy Springs Center, Riverdale Center, and Powder Springs Center for Nursing and Healing. You earned this.
What the AHCA Quality Award Actually Means
The AHCA National Quality Award Program is one of the most recognized quality improvement frameworks in long-term care. The Bronze Award is the first and foundational level, recognizing facilities that have demonstrated a solid commitment to organizational excellence and a clear focus on delivering better outcomes for residents. Earning it is not automatic. It takes intention, consistency, and a team that genuinely cares about the work they do every single day.
Five of our centers clearing that bar in the same year? That is not a coincidence. That is a culture.
To Our Teams: This One Is Yours
To every nurse, therapist, aide, administrator, and support staff member across all five centers… this award belongs to you. You show up, you give everything, and you make healing with heart more than a tagline. You make it real, in every room, on every shift, for every resident and family who walks through your doors.
This recognition is a reflection of your dedication, and we could not be prouder to celebrate it with you.
What This Means for Families
When you are choosing a nursing home in Georgia for someone you love, quality markers matter. The AHCA Bronze Award is a signal that a facility is not just meeting the minimum standard. It is actively working to exceed it. At Empire Care Centers, that commitment runs through everything we do, from clinical care to the way we make residents feel at home.
