🏆 Better late than never. Three weeks ago, at the 14th Asia Pacific Eldercare Innovation Awards, Sindora Living 欣岳年 walked away with two wins, one finalist spot, and one career-defining recognition for a colleague and friend I deeply respect. Overdue post, but worth writing.
🏆 Innovation of the Year, for our Healthy Longevity Management Programme. Years of R&D with Prof. Brian Kennedy, finally living inside a community: bio-age diagnostics, non-pharmacological interventions, opened beyond residents as a real revenue stream rather than a marketing line. At 90, Madam Ma climbs 68 steps without stopping. That is what "It's never too late" actually looks like.
🏆 Facility of the Year, for our Everjoy Jinan community. An affordable community built with the Jinan municipal government, where we did not cut features or dilute the philosophy to hit the price point. Quality and accessibility are not mutually exclusive, and we are happy to keep proving it.
🥈 Operator of the Year, Finalist. We finished second, behind our long-term partners at Ping An, who happen to be the people we operate our Foshan community for. Second place tastes sweeter when the winner is a friend. Genuinely happy for them. Different DNA, shared ambition, same direction.
🏅 And then there is Thierry Costanzo 顾特睿 our COO, who received the Global Ageing Influencer Award for a career spent bridging European and Asian senior living, and quietly pioneering modern eldercare in China. Thierry has been in this fight longer than most of us, and with less noise. About time!
💛 Thank you to Ageing Asia and the jury, to our teams in Nanjing, Jinan, and Foshan, to our partners, and to the residents and families who keep us loyal to our motto: Live on your own terms.
