In 2019, Richard Ferry founded Maude’s Awards for Innovation in Alzheimer’s Care, inspired by Maude, his beloved wife of 65 years. She lived her life with grace and elegance, a beacon of hope, love, wisdom for all who knew her. Maude developed dementia in 2013 and Richard became her loving care partner, always searching for ways to bring joy and happiness to her life. His search led him to create Maude’s Awards, dedicated to the discovery of programs and practices of care that are enriching the lives of people living with dementia, and their care partners, and sharing these programs with the wider Alzheimer’s care community.

We encourage anyone with a unique practice or product to apply! Potential applicants can consult the Frequently Asked Questions and submit applications online by May 13.
