Christian Living Communities (CLC) proudly announces that three of its senior living communities have been honored with the prestigious Telligen B.E.S.T. in Class Award. This recognition, awarded to the skilled nursing neighborhoods of Clermont Park, Holly Creek, and Casey’s Pond, reflects CLC’s commitment to excellence and its philosophy of creating vibrant, caring, and supportive environments for older adults.
Three CLC communities led just 15 communities in Colorado to win this highly coveted recognition in the senior living industry. Only 76 communities across Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, and Oklahoma were honored. “We are so proud of the men and women who work tirelessly daily to keep our communities and residents safe. This award is a direct result of that commitment,” said Angela Allen, VP of Clinical Services for Christian Living Communities.
The prestigious award is reserved for skilled nursing communities demonstrating exceptional performance, innovation, and a strong focus on resident well-being. At CLC, our commitment to resident well-being is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that every senior deserves a fulfilling and enriching life, and we strive to create communities where residents can thrive physically, emotionally, and socially. This commitment is evident in the exceptional achievements of Casey’s Pond, Clermont Park, and Holly Creek, each of which has excelled in key areas of senior care.
Casey’s Pond, nestled in the scenic beauty of Steamboat Springs, CO, Clermont Park a life plan community located in Denver, and Holly Creek, a luxurious life plan senior living community in suburban Denver have each been recognized for their exemplary proactive efforts in resident well-being, including COVID-19 vigilance, emergency preparedness, infection control training, and preventive care strategies.
