Each year, American Senior Communities honors one outstanding team member from each of its 103 Indiana communities with the prestigious Quest for Excellence Award. Now celebrating its 25th year, the tradition continued on Thursday, November 13, as honorees, their guests, and ASC leaders came together at the Marriott in downtown Indianapolis for an evening of celebration, recognition, and gratitude.<\/p>\n
Recognizing and uplifting employees has always been at the heart of ASC\u2019s mission\u2014to support professional growth, encourage exceptional performance, and celebrate those who consistently exceed expectations. With nearly 11,000 team members statewide, the Quest for Excellence Award stands as ASC\u2019s highest individual honor.<\/p>\n
Nominated by coworkers, residents, and residents\u2019 families, each award recipient was recognized for the commitment to embody the ASC CARE values: Compassion, Accountability, Relationships, and Excellence. These honorees bring kindness to life, demonstrate unwavering responsibility, nurture meaningful connections, and continually strive to deliver extraordinary care and service.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur Quest for Excellence recipients represent the very best of who we are,\u201d said Steve Van Camp, CEO of American Senior Communities. \u201cThese individuals don\u2019t just meet expectations; they raise them. They care deeply, work reliably, and treat every resident and coworker with dignity. Their commitment shines through in both the quiet moments and the big ones. We are grateful to each of our honorees for demonstrating what excellence looks like, every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
