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 senior 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 extraordinary senior living professionals have been selected from a pool of nearly 650 nominations. The five award recipients were announced and honored on April 5, 2011 during the ALFA Hero Awards Luncheon at the ALFA 2011 Conference & Expo in Orlando. Each hero's story was shared in special videos now available online at http://alfa.org/heroes, and pictures from the ceremony are available on Flickr. Additionally, each is being profiled in upcoming issues of ALFA's magazine, Assisted Living Executive.

Hero Awards nominations for 2012 are not yet open.
