The Zinnia Award for Extraordinary Support Staff Nomination Form
Zinnias are vibrant, resilient flowers that bloom boldly and beautifully in even the toughest conditions. They symbolize endurance, lasting affections, daily remembrance, and the joy of simple acts of kindness – all values that reflect the heart and soul of our team. We chose the Zinnia Award to represent the incredible work of our CNAs, Rehab Staff, Activities Department, Housekeeping/Laundry, Dietary Team, Maintenance, and office staff because just like the zinnia:
• You bring color and warmth to the lives of our residents each day.
• You show up with strength and consistency, no matter the challenges.
• You bloom where you’re planted, adapting and thriving in a fast-paced, demanding environment.
• You create a culture of care, compassion, and connection with every interaction.
This award is more than recognition – it’s a tribute to the lasting impact you have on our residents, families, and each other. Like the zinnia, your presence is unforgettable, your spirit is strong, and your contributions are deeply valued.
