Walnut Woods, an independent retirement community, recently was presented with a SeniorAdvisor Excellence Award for receiving consistently high ratings from residents and their families in 2013.

        “We’re thrilled that Walnut Woods was recognized with such an honor,” said Jamison Gosselin, vice president of marketing, communication, and resident enrichment at Holiday Retirement. “It means a lot that other people can see our communities are making a positive difference in the lives of our residents and their families.”

        SeniorAdvisor.com is a consumer reviews web site established by A Place for Mom (APFM), the nation’s largest senior living referral service, as a way for seniors and their families to share feedback on senior living communities and services. The inaugural SeniorAdvisor Excellence Award identifies the top senior living communities that have received an overall average rating of at least 4.5 stars on the site. The award winners were recognized for having the best customer ratings and reviews out of more than 100,000 senior care providers currently on SeniorAdvisor.com.

        “SeniorAdvisor.com was launched with the goal of providing a useful resource for consumers looking for first-hand feedback on senior care communities,” said Eric Seifert, president of SeniorAdvisor.com. “We wanted to put a spotlight on those companies who have invested efforts to deliver excellent customer service to potential and existing customers, as evident from their high ratings. The recipients of the first SeniorAdvisor.com Excellence Awards set a high bar of quality for other senior care providers to follow.”
