For the fifth year in a row, Edgemere senior living community was awarded the Greystone Diamond Award at the 2011 Greystone Event held in Las Colinas. The Greystone Diamond Award is the senior living development company’s highest honor awarded for distinctive service in a senior living community. Edgemere was one of two communities to receive the award this year, out of more than 20 Greystone communities nationwide. In attendance were representatives from Edgemere, Senior Quality Lifestyles Corporation (SQLC), owners of Edgemere, Greystone Communities, Inc., strategic partners and various senior living communities across the country.
“We are all honored to receive this prestigious award for the fifth consecutive year,” said John Falldine, managing director of Edgemere. “Our employees truly go above and beyond in serving our residents, and I’m thankful that Greystone is recognizing us in this way. The team at Edgemere is exceptional, and I’m proud to be a part of it.”
To qualify for the Diamond Award, a community must meet stringent criteria on nine operational benchmarks which include a resident expectation survey, employee expectation survey, first impression visits, financial ratios, hospitality culture implementation, task force participation, professional employee growth, successful licensure, and community accomplishments.
