Nacka
Impact and significance
The award highlights working methods that nominators believe have improved safety or quality of life for older people. A nomination is not an independent quality inspection and does not establish that a service meets every statutory or contractual requirement.
Background
Ess stands for engagement, service and senior care. Nacka's elderly-care committee created the award in 2025. Staff who work directly with older people and others who contribute to care can be nominated under the municipality's criteria.

Nominations opened on 17 August and close on 7 September 2026. Use the municipal form and do not send sensitive personal information to WUA. This summary is based on the cited public source and reflects the information available when WUA reviewed it on 18 August 2026. It does not replace current instructions from the responsible authority, municipality or organiser. If dates, times, conditions or implementation have changed, the latest information on the original page takes precedence. The headline and text have been editorially rewritten to separate verifiable facts from the source's own assessments. No information outside the cited material has been used to fill gaps; readers should follow the source links for full context. WUA checked the page title, date, location, amounts and status where available, but has not verified matters that the source leaves open, such as final costs, attendance, permits or future results. Time-sensitive details were checked against the source at review, but practical decisions must always rely on the responsible organisation's current notice. WUA does not accept registrations, applications, votes, payments or personal data for the services described and cannot confirm individual eligibility.
