Emerald Heights Earns Holleran Choice Community Award

At Emerald Heights, listening to residents is at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we’re honored to receive the 2026 Choice Community Award from Holleran, a national award recognizing senior living communities with exceptional resident engagement and satisfaction.

 

This recognition is especially meaningful because it reflects the voices and experiences of the people who call Emerald Heights home. Every other year, residents are invited to participate in Holleran’s Resident Engagement and Satisfaction Survey, providing valuable feedback that helps shape the future of our community. The 2026 survey results placed Emerald Heights among the nation’s highest-performing Life Plan Communities for resident engagement and satisfaction.

 

“As a mission-driven nonprofit community, our success is measured by the quality of life, sense of belonging, and opportunities for growth our residents experience every day,” said Grant Linacre, Executive Director of Emerald Heights. “Earning the Choice Community Award demonstrates that our commitment to fostering connection, purpose, and resident engagement is making a meaningful impact. We are proud of this achievement and grateful to everyone who contributes to the remarkable spirit of Emerald Heights.”

 

Life at Emerald Heights is shaped by the people who live here. From resident-led clubs and lifelong learning opportunities to volunteer initiatives, wellness programs, and meaningful friendships, our community offers countless ways to stay engaged and connected. It’s this spirit of involvement and belonging that makes Emerald Heights such a special place to call home.

 

We’re grateful to our residents for sharing their feedback and helping us continue to build a community where everyone feels welcomed, connected, and valued.
