Best of Best Awards

ALFA Best of the Best Winners 2010
Each year, Assisted Living Executive, the flagship magazine of ALFA, recognizes companies who shake up commonly accepted best practices to get even better results with ground-breaking ideas to expand their business, improve service delivery, boost the bottom line, streamline operations, and more.

The 2010 Hero Award Nominations closed on January 15th, 2010. Winners will be awarded during ALFA's 2010 Conference & Expo in Phoenix, Arizona, May 25-27, 2010.

"For me, it’s been a joy to see the record number of submissions to ALFA’s annual Best of the Best Awards program. The Best of the Best Awards recognize the top innovations and best practices that are raising the bar of operational excellence in our industry. These innovations recognize companies that have put their imaginations to work to continually improve and streamline operations, enhance resident care and services, retain and train quality employees, and much more. Plus, the industry-wide benefit of the Best of the Best Awards is the program’s ability to multiply excellence as other companies adopt similar best practices or parts of outstanding programs as a result of this important recognition program". Richard P. Grimes  is president/CEO of the Assisted Living Federation of America, representing professionally managed assisted living communities and the residents and families they serve.
