On Friday, June 17th, The Connecticut Assisted Living Association hosted the Annual Outstanding Resident Service Awards. The presentation was highlighted by keynote speaker, Dennis McIntee, a renowned speaker, coach, and author, who addressed the audience with an engaging session. Following the motivational program, the live award ceremony took place recognizing the employees who have been selected for their dedication and courageous efforts in providing service to the residents of their communities over the past year.
“CALA is pleased to announce that the following were selected for CALA’s 2022 Outstanding Resident Service Award and CALA’s 2022 Outstanding Resident Service Award Honorable Mention. With the generous sponsor support of Murtha Cullina LLP, CALA takes great pleasure in honoring those who provide service to older adults that goes ‘above and beyond.'”
