Hero Awards Program

2009 Heros Winnners
Hero Nominations for 2010 are Now CLOSED.

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. ALFA launched the Hero Awards over a decade ago to honor assisted living professionals who provide extraordinary care by going above and beyond expectations to surprise and delight residents.

Thank you for Nominating Your Hero!

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. Each community is limited to a maximum of one nominee per category. ALFA members and non-members who are employed by a senior living provider are eligible for nomination.

Categories for nomination are as follows:

  • Executive Director Hero
  • Staff Member Hero
  • Nurse Hero
  • Caregiver Hero
  • Volunteer Hero
