This is where we came up with the idea to create our awards program. \u00a0We wanted to award the communities and care providers with a chance to shine, and not just award them, but make sure we tell everyone about the great work they do. \u00a0Today more and more people use online reviews to make informed decisions and senior living is no different.<\/p>\n<p>All of this started more than 5 years ago, and every year we make our criteria harder than the year before and every year we get more winners. \u00a0We are so proud and happy with the communities and care providers who win this prestigious award. \u00a0Nearly every year, these winners represent the top 1-2% of all senior living establishments.<\/p>\n<p>For communities and care providers, SeniorAdvisor.com&#8217;s Best of 2018 Care Provider Award gives you a chance to proudly display an award that was earned directly from the families and residents you help every day. \u00a0Your co-workers, families and residents can be proud of the fact that they have chosen one of the best of the best when it comes to Senior Living.<\/p>\n<p>For families these awards give them the piece of mind that the community or care provider they are looking at is making other families just like theirs happy. In this sometimes difficult time, nothing makes a family member\u00a0feel better than to hear the feedback of others who have dealt with similar situations as theirs.<\/p>\n<h2>How Does one Qualify for the Best of \u00a02018 Care Provider Awards?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>All winners must\u00a0be a\u00a0<strong>home care or senior living service provider\u00a0<\/strong>(assisted living, nursing homes, senior apartments, independent living, Alzheimer\u2019s care, and CCRCs all qualify).<\/li>\n<li>You must maintain a\u00a0<strong>minimum star rating of 4.5\u00a0<\/strong>on SeniorAdvisor.com. *<em>This number is subject to change\u00a0per SeniorAdvisor.com&#8217;s quality guidelines*<\/em><\/li>\n<li>You must have received\u00a0<strong>a minimum of 3 new reviews on SeniorAdvisor.com in 2017<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>You must meet a minimum overall review requirement. *<em>This detail\u00a0is a proprietary formula by SeniorAdvisor.com*<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These awards are primarily based on the feedback of families and residents, so get as many reviews as you can.
