Peter Brown, owner of Care Resort Chiang Mai stated that he was proud for his wife and himself, the great staff at the facility and proud for Chiang Mai and Thailand. He said that he believed this award was recognition of the benefits of the resort:

• Carer/guest ratios well above most other facilities worldwide. “Care works” says Peter, “ but for care to work sufficient carers are necessary”
• The desire to give guests as much freedom of choice as possible. Mealtimes are flexible and guests choose from a full menu of options “ We try to protect dignity here, dignity is something easily lost with the elderly but it remains important to them” he said.”. Peter also enthused about the quality of the Thai staff whose family-orientated culture produced a natural respect for the elderly and a desire to look after them. He said “in all my years in business I have never had a better team of staff” but it remains important to them' he said.
• With around 1,000 trees, a lake, gardens and mountain views the resort is very beautiful. Accommodation is in villas throughout the resort.
