St Andrew’s Village has achieved global award-winning excellence
We are so pleased to announce that St Andrew’s Village has achieved global award-winning excellence and secured three top honours at the prestigious 12th Asia Pacific Eldercare Innovation Awards.
Often dubbed the “Oscars” of Aged Care, this international recognition cements our position as a leader in innovative senior living. The awards recognise excellence across various aspects of eldercare. St Andrew’s Village’s triple win highlights our dedication to resident well-being on multiple levels. We were awarded Operator of the Year – Residential Aged Care and Facility of the Year – Residential Aged Care, marking the first time a single site achieved both. “The awards reflect our people,” says CEO Andrew Joyce, and he feels it emphasises our commitment to “continually provide exceptional services in exceptional surroundings” and maintain strong resident-family connections.
St Andrew’s Village also secured the Facility of the Year – Ageing-In-Place award for our innovative approach to supporting independent living. The judges were impressed by our holistic approach to well-being and ongoing regeneration efforts that create a supportive and connected environment. Well done to all our incredible team village-wide who deserve a standing ovation for all their hard work and dedication that has now been recognised on the world stage.
St Andrew's Village Takes Home Top Honours at Global Eldercare Awards.
St Andrew's Village is celebrating a remarkable achievement after securing three prestigious awards at the recent 12th Asia Pacific Eldercare Innovation Awards. This international recognition solidifies their position as a leader in innovative and high-quality senior care.
The Ageing Asia Eldercare Innovation Awards, often referred to as the "Oscars" of Aged Care, is a highly respected competition. Finalists present their work to a distinguished panel of judges, making St Andrew's Village's triple win all the more impressive. A Commitment to Resident Wellbeing, St Andrew's Village was awarded Operator of the Year – Residential Aged Care and Facility of the Year - Residential Aged Care. These accolades highlight their dedication to resident well-being. In the history of the awards, this is the first time a single site has achieved both distinctions.
Andrew Joyce, CEO of St Andrew's Village, attributes this success to the village's people. "The awards are a reflection of the people that work within St Andrew's," he says. "They also reflect the commitment from the entire team to keep refreshing the site, to continually provide exceptional services in exceptional surroundings, and to enable families to stay connected." St Andrew's Village also secured the Facility of the Year – Ageing-In-Place award. This recognises their innovative approach to supporting seniors who wish to live independently in their own homes.
The judging panel was particularly impressed by the village's focus on "looking after the whole resident," emphasising social, cognitive, cultural, and spiritual well-being alongside physical needs. The ongoing regeneration efforts within the village, including green buildings and welcoming communal spaces, further contribute to a supportive environment for residents.
