Sonata Senior Living was honored as a "Best of the Best" recipient by Assisted Living Federation of America's for two consecutive years. In 2011, Sonata was chosen Best of the Best Awards with "Program to Watch" recognition for the Physical Plant & Environmental category for its memory care assisted living community, Serenades by Sonata in Longwood. In 2012, Sonata Senior Living was selected Best of the Best for "Program to Spotlight" recognition by the association.

ALFA's Best of the Best Awards recognize operators with services or programs that make significant contributions advancing operational excellence in senior living. According to ALFA's Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications Jamison J. Gosselin, Serenades earned this distinct award for its purpose-built design and Sonata’s commitment to raise the bar for all memory care assisted living providers. Serenades by Sonata was selected from nearly 140 submissions. Each submission went through two levels of review and grading based on its uniqueness, innovation, addressing of ALFA’s core principles, business excellence and the quantitative assessment provided to ALFA.
