Tutera Senior Living & Health Care: A Beacon of Quality in Senior Care

Tutera Senior Living & Health Care has made headlines recently with its achievement of five esteemed National Quality Awards from the American Health Care Association (AHCA) and the National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL). This recognition underscores Tutera's unwavering dedication to enhancing the quality of care provided to seniors and individuals with disabilities across the United States.

Celebrating Excellence in Senior Care

As a premier player in the senior care sector, Tutera operates 86 facilities across 10 states, focusing on a range of services including independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and memory care. In 2025, the company stood out as five of its communities received accolades for their efforts in maintaining high standards of care. The winners included:

• - Silver Achievement in Quality Award: Carnegie Village Senior Living Community – Belton, Missouri

This community was one of only two in Missouri to achieve the coveted Silver level in 2025.

• - Bronze Commitment to Quality Award:

- Bridle Brook Assisted Living & Memory Care – Mahomet, Illinois
- The Lodge at Manito Assisted Living & Memory Care – Manito, Illinois
- Thomas Grove Assisted Living & Memory Care – Marion, Iowa
- Morton Memory Care – Nebraska City, Nebraska

Commitment to Improvement and Innovation

The National Quality Award Program, founded in 1996, is a rigorous evaluation framework that applies the principles of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program. To qualify for the Bronze award, facilities are required to establish a robust foundation for performance improvement. Meanwhile, Silver award winners must demonstrate tangible outcomes from effective, data-driven practices that lead to better clinical results and operational performance.

Joe Tutera, CEO of Tutera Senior Living, expressed immense pride in the recognition of these communities, stating, “This recognition highlights the compassion, professionalism, and tireless dedication of our staff, who go above and beyond every day to enrich the lives of our valued long-term residents.”
With initiatives like YOUNITE, which emphasizes listening and responding to residents' and families' needs, Tutera remains at the forefront of the evolving landscape of senior living.

A Milestone Celebration

As Tutera Senior Living celebrates its 40th anniversary, it reflects on four decades of leadership, innovation, and commitment to quality care within the senior living industry. Founded in 1985 by Dominic F. Tutera, M.D., the organization has remained devoted to delivering personalized services and fostering a culture of excellence. The dedication to high-quality care has not gone unnoticed; this year, 15 of Tutera’s communities were honored in U.S. News & World Report’s 2025 Best Senior Living Communities list, emphasizing their exceptional care and resident satisfaction.

Conclusion

The upcoming 76th National Quality Award Convention and Expo, themed “Delivering Solutions 25,” will take place from October 19 to 22, 2025, where the awarded facilities will be recognized.
