EAC National Housing for Older People Awards 2012
Nominations were received between 1st October 2011 and 31st March 2012 from 2799 residents of all forms of housing for later life throughout the UK.
The finalists will discover which awards they have won (bronze, silver and gold) at the Awards celebration on 21 May 2012 at Legal & General London offices.
See the A-Z list of the 30 finalists / winners (opens new window).
The winners will be pleased that their residents value their housing and the services they receive.
The managers of unsuccessful schemes will also be able to benefit from this year's Awards by ordering a Provider Report which highlights strength and weaknesses, as perceived by the residents whilst protecting the residents' confidentiality. Indeed it has become clear that many groups of residents play the nomination game knowing full well that with the poor scores they are entering, winning was not on the cards. Their main motivation was to seize this opportunity to discuss and express their views.
The awards were voted by the residents of retirement/sheltered/extra care housing, etc..., using a fun card game (opens new window) designed to stimulate discussions and help capture satisfaction ratings on design, services, and well-being.
