Environments for Aging is now accepting nominations for its annual EFA Design Champions awards program, which will honor those who are working to introduce design solutions that make a meaningful improvement in the lives of residents, staff, and/or the greater community.
All nominees for the 2023 EFA Design Champions should be individuals; however, one project team award may be given to recognize a multi-person effort.
Applicants will have contributed to the advancement of senior living design within the past 2 years and require details that support how those contributions are representative of a mission to evolve and improve this sector. They may include architects, interior designers, providers, owners/operators, community staff/caregivers, engineers, construction professionals, researchers, and academics.
Related work should be in settings such as skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, short-term rehabilitation, hospice, independent living, and 55+ housing; considerations will be made for senior-specific solutions created in acute and post-acute care facilities.
The deadline for nominations is Friday, August 25, and the nomination form can be found here.
Winners will be recognized in special editorial coverage appearing in the Winter 2023 issue of Environments for Aging and celebrated during an awards luncheon to be held at the 2024 Environments for Aging Conference + Expo, April 13-16, 2024, Atlanta.
