Buckhead Senior Community Lenbrook Brings Home Prestigious Food Services Award
Lenbrook, a premier senior living community, is proud to be the recipient of Morrison’s Regional Account of the Year, part of its Be-A-Star challenge. Three hundred and fifty accounts competed for the award, and only 10 were chosen – each representing a different geographic location.
Be-A-Star is Morrison’s nationally acclaimed business initiative program designed to recognize associates for achieving business and service excellence. The program challenges Morrison’s 18,000 team members to demonstrate their desire to be the best.
As part of the Be-A-Star program, Morrison’s 350 senior living accounts worked to achieve five-star status. To do so, each account must complete a series of requirements associated with the company’s key business and service initiatives. Components involved all food service team members at the account and included challenges such as implementing a resident/customer satisfaction plan, celebrating diversity and partnering to host a community service activity.
Kevin Svagdis, Morrison’s president, explains, “Tim Crosby and the rest of the Morrison team at Lenbrook are phenomenal. They possess a tireless commitment to caring for people, an unwavering dedication to serving the Atlanta community and an innovative approach to senior food services. Their hard work and dedication carries over to the work performed by their entire staff and makes them extremely deserving of this award.”
Mary Fakharian, vice president of resident services at Lenbrook said, “Lenbrook values our partnership with Compass and Morrison Senior Living. The Be-A-Star recognition program models all of the quality and service initiatives that are important to our community. We are thrilled that our team is being honored for their excellent performance.”
The award celebration will take place at Lenbrook on Thursday, Nov. 18, 2010, at 2 p.m.
