Innovators awaiting final word

The names of the finalists in all 16 categories were released Aug. 21.

The competition offered expanded opportunities this year, and providers and their marketplace partners responded in record numbers. Six finalists were selected in most categories.

Each category fielded submissions from skilled nursing, senior living and home care operators, along with respective market partners. Providers and companies of all sizes, from both the for-profit and nonprofit sectors, entered and populate the finalists list.

Submissions were judged by a distinguished, independent panel of 21 long-term care stakeholders.

Award winners will be featured in coverage both online and in print. They will be recognized across McKnight’s Long-Term Care News, McKnight’s Senior Living and McKnight’s Home Care on all their social and traditional media platforms.
