The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration presented Shoal Creek Rehabilitation Center in Crestview Florida with the Governor’s Gold Seal Award. They were one of only nine long-term care centers in Florida to receive the award. During a special appreciation celebration at the center, Executive Director, Debbie Montenaro told the staff that they were responsible for earning the award; “It’s really you guys, working day in and day out with the residents,” she said.
Shoal Creek has several programs designed to ensure that residents receive plenty of special attention and care. One of these programs, Adopt a Resident, allows a staff member to be assigned to a specific resident. Another successful program, the Clipboard Program, uses daily updated information to guarantee that care is consistent with the wishes of residents’ physicians.
The winners of the Governor’s Gold Seal award must prove that their long-term care centers are in the top 10% in the state. After a comprehensive review of everything from financial soundness to family outreach over the past 30 months, Shoal Creek earned the Gold Seal award. According to Samuel Verghese, secretary of Florida’s Department of Elder Affairs, “These nursing homes have some of the best nurses and staff in the country that provide superb health care services to our seniors.”
