Purpose: The Florida Assisted Living Association (FALA) Annual Awards were created to recognize Facility Member employees and volunteers who have made a positive impact on the operations of their Assisted Living Facility (ALF) or Adult Family Care Home (AFCH) and the lives of their residents, and Associate Member businesses who have been long-term and active FALA members and supportive of FALA Facility Members.
Who can I nominate? Criteria for each award is stated below. Based on award criteria, nominees may include ALF administrators; AFCH owners; facility employees who go beyond the call of duty to bring positivity, smiles, comfort, cheer, etc. to your daily operations and your residents; facility volunteers who unselfishly give of themselves; or an Associate Member business who has positively supported the operations of your ALF or AFCH. Only FALA Facility Member employees (Assisted Living Facility or Adult Family Care Home) or FALA Associate Member businesses are eligible.
What should I do? Complete and submit the nomination form below by May 31st. If you have more than one nominee, you must submit a new nomination for each.
When will award recipients be selected and recognized? Award recipients will be selected by the FALA Awards Committee once all nominations have been submitted and reviewed (after May 31st). Selected award recipients will be recognized at the FALA Annual Awards Dinner on Wednesday, August 7th, in Orlando, held in conjunction with the FALA Annual Conference & Tradeshow. You will be contacted after the Awards Committee votes to advise if your nominee was selected; and if your nominee is selected, you will be asked to help coordinate their attendance at the Awards Dinner. If an award recipient is unable to attend in person, other arrangements can be made. Attendance at the Awards Dinner will be complimentary for the award recipient and one guest; however travel and hotel expenses are not covered. Tickets for additional guests and colleagues will be available for purchase upon request.
