Each year, NCAL honors individuals who are dedicated to improving the quality of lives of residents and their surrounding communities.
Members may nominate eligible candidates in one of two categories:
NCAL Leader of the Year Award
This award recognizes an assisted living Administrator/Executive Director, Director of Nursing, or someone in a regional leadership position who demonstrates outstanding innovation, achievement, and capabilities in their provision of high-quality person-centered care in a service-oriented culture in an assisted living community.
NCAL Noble Caregiver Award
This award recognizes frontline caregivers, support and office staff from any department for their contributions that lead to improved quality of life for the residents and create a better work environment for the assisted living community’s staff. This includes, but is not limited to, direct care staff from nursing (CNAs, LNAs, LPNs), support/office staff, housekeeping, dietary, activities/recreation, laundry, and maintenance departments.
All nominations must be submitted electronically via Award Force. Faxed or handwritten nominations are not accepted. Honorees in each category are recognized at AHCA/NCAL’s Annual Convention and Expo.
