Five Star Senior Living Awarded Best of the Best Award by the Assisted Living Federation of America

Five Star Senior Living, one of the nation’s leading providers of independent living and assisted living for seniors, today announced that it has been awarded the Best of the Best award by the Assisted Living Federation of America (ALFA) for its Celebrity Chef Program. The ALFA Best of the Best awards recognize innovative new programs and services that are creating the future of senior living.

More than a year ago, Five Star partnered with renowned celebrity chef and restaurant owner Brad Miller in an effort to redefine the senior living dining experience. Through a series of chef challenges and events, new menu items and culinary tip videos, Five Star has successfully enhanced and upgraded the dining experience for residents across all communities throughout the country.

“We’re proud to receive this important industry recognition from ALFA for our Celebrity Chef program,” stated Bruce Mackey, President and CEO. “Our partnership with Chef Brad Miller was the first of its kind in the senior living industry. The program Five Star created has raised the bar for our talented chefs who are competing in challenges across the country, much to the delight of our residents who are enjoying fine dining experiences as a result of their participation and dedication.”

All of Five Star’s communities have Chef Brad’s signature items on the menu and additional items are being added each month. Chef Miller has continued his affiliation with Five Star in 2015 and together they are launching the Five Star Culinary Academy where Chef Miller is educating and working directly with our chefs to take their skills to the next level.
