2009 Hero Award Recipients

2009 Heros Winnners

12th Annual ALFA Hero Award Luncheon

Heroes are found in senior living communities across the country. They are the executive directors, staff members, nurses, frontline caregivers, and volunteers who do more, give more, and personify the spirit of excellence in senior living care. Everyone knows at least one hero — someone in assisted living who has shown extraordinary courage and leadership — someone who has risen above his or her daily duties to improve the quality of life for residents. Five ALFA Heroes were honored as outstanding assisted living professionals at the 2009 ALFA Conference & Expo.

The Following are the 2009 Hero Award Winners!
