Setting the Gold Standard: Achieving Joint Commission

Assisted Living Accreditation and Memory Care Certification

The Joint Commission is a not-for-profit, independent organization, and private accreditor that surveys healthcare organizations to ensure higher standards of care and safety for the public. A well-known accreditor of hospitals, The Joint Commission has been a global driver of healthcare improvement for over 70 years, including long-term care for 50 years, with the addition of accrediting assisted living communities in 2023. 

Assisted living communities volunteer to be evaluated to the highest standards of safety and care for residents, with the goal of being accredited by The Joint Commission. This comprehensive evaluation not only shows where teams are excelling, but also identifies areas that need improvement. 

By achieving accreditation, that is assuring residents, family, loved ones, and the public at large that the community is providing the highest possible standard of care one can get! 

Monnette Geronimo, Associate Director at The Joint Commission, commented, “What the gold seal means, when you’re able to display it. You were able to meet those standards set by the Joint Commission. That is a very powerful message to carry.” 

At The Boulevard Senior Living of Wentzville, we are proud to have achieved Assisted Living Accreditation and Memory Care Certification. We look forward to continuing to provide this excellent care to the residents of our community.
