Frequently asked questions

What are the Communities That Shine Awards?

The Communities That Shine Awards are LifeLoop's customer recognition program that highlights and celebrates the communities that truly leverage the power of LifeLoop's technology to improve the quality of life for older adults and those who care for them. They have integrated technology-enabled engagement into their operations, benefiting not only residents, but also staff and family members. These customers understand that when you connect people to what matters to them—friends and loved ones, experiences, interests, and passions—magic happens.

Specific communities can still submit a nomination if their parent organization has submitted a multi-site operator nomination.
