Our Philosophy

Ceca’s program is based on the power of recognition.  We believe that all workers have a fundamental need for appreciation and a sense of belonging to help them reach their potential.  We believe that peer-to-peer recognition is a powerful motivator, and one of the best ways to honor co-workers and encourage engagement. We believe that engaged workers with positive attitudes perform at higher levels, leading to improved patient care and better patient experience.

Ceca Provides its Healthcare Partners with a Bundle of Tools
and Services To Support its Caregiver Award Program

The Ceca Caregiver Award

Ceca’s Caregiver Award Program is designed to recognize, celebrate and reward caregivers who have been selected for their exceptional patient care. Ceca Foundation’s peer-to-peer recognition program makes submitting frequent, meaningful recognition easy for co-workers, residents/patients, and guests. These acts of extraordinary kindness are captured every day in the form of nominations collected through a secure website.

The process is simple:

The Honoree Selection Panel

At the end of each submission period, the nominations collected by our system are evaluated by a panel of judges. This small panel is made up of representatives from Ceca, our Healthcare Partner, and the cared for community. This panel reviews the posts and selects that period’s Ceca Award honoree. Major consideration for the award is given to those that best exemplify qualities of empathy, humor, integrity, professionalism and teamwork in treating patient residents.

Recipients are honored with the genuine respect and positive recognition from their peers and patients. Additionally, honorees receive a $250 prize. While the financial rewards are designed to be meaningful, the Ceca Award is fundamentally about the priceless recognition given by fellow staff members. Together with patients and their families, Ceca seeks to celebrate and thank caregivers for their outstanding work.
