Our Commitment to Quality

Through Quality First, a national initiative to enhance quality in long term care, we, as RIHCA members, are collectively and individually committed to healthy, affordable, and ethical long term care. We commit to achieving excellence in the quality of care and services for older persons and strengthening public trust. We recognize that confidence on the part of consumers and policy makers is lacking and must be restored. We are committed to taking bold and deliberate steps, embedded in the principles of the Quality First Covenant to ensure quality. We believe that by doing so, there will be measurable improvements in defined outcomes as well as in ethical, compassionate, and resident-centered practices in the provision of care for those who are frail, elderly, or disabled.
