What Does Each Criteria Label Mean?
Tiers of Recognition
The LEI recognizes participating long-term care and senior housing communities. Participating communities that have met all of Criteria 1's foundational non-discrimination policies and training can achieve one of three Tiers of Recognition. See below for a description and requirements for each tier
At this tier, communities are beginning their journey and have a solid foundation of key policies that are codified and communicated. To achieve this tier, communities must have all Criteria 1 practices in place. These practices include an LGBTQ+ inclusive resident non-discrimination policy, equal visitation policy, employee non-discrimination policy, and completion of the executive briefing.
At this tier, in addition to meeting the requirements for the Equality Builder tier, High Performer communities have adopted a minimum of practices in the areas of Resident Services and Supports, Employee Benefits and Policies, and Resident and Community Engagement. To achieve this tier, communities must reach a minimum number of best practices (see below) in Criteria 2, 3, and 4.
At this tier, in addition to meeting the requirements for the prior two tiers, Equality Leader communities have integrated the majority of practices in the areas of Resident Services and Supports, Employee Benefits and Policies, and Resident and Community Engagements. To achieve this tier, communities must reach a set number of best practices (see below) in Criteria 2, 3, and 4, including a transgender-inclusive insurance plan.
