BLOOMINGTON, MN – Madonna Meadows, a senior living community located in Rochester, received the Excellence in Assisted Living award by a state-wide association of older adult services professionals.
Cheryl Saballa, Housing Director for Madonna Meadows, and her staff were recognized at Care Providers of Minnesota’s Housing Summit, held in August in St. Cloud. With only three other Minnesota establishments having earned this recognition since 2005, the award honors an assisted living facility for exemplary dedication and commitment to quality in the care of its tenants and the work life of its employees.
“When our team completed writing the award–we truly felt like we had won, regardless of the outcome,” commented Saballa. “However, to be the recipient of it, there were so many overwhelming emotions - pride in the staff that do what they do every day with compassion and enthusiasm- wishing they could have been with me at that moment; joy for our residents who are provided that care and choices in their lives; and proud to be part of the Benedictine Health System and Madonna Living Community whose mission is to provide this level of quality to our residents, staff and all customers!”
The Excellence in Assisted Living Award is the most prestigious award for which a housing facility can apply. The application process is demanding, requiring detailed information ranging from person-directed care, to financial stewardship, to employee satisfaction. If an applicant attains a certain score on their written nomination, a judging committee from Care Providers of Minnesota tours the facility, scoring the establishment on its physical attributes, as well as interaction with residents and staff.
“I am so pleased our committee recommended Madonna Meadows for this prestigious award—anyone who has visited that community or has had loved ones live there knows full well that “excellence” isn’t a strong enough word for the experience,” said Patti Cullen, president and CEO of Care Providers of Minnesota. “The entire team at Madonna Meadows truly reflects all that we would hold up as quality customer service—congratulations for the very well deserved recognition.”
