The 2025 survey, which gathered opinions from over 200,000 respondents across nearly 4,000 senior living communities throughout the United States, aims to capture what genuinely matters to seniors today: compassionate care, enriching settings, and a true sense of community.
“Communities that receive high ratings excel in ensuring residents feel secure, well cared for, and highly satisfied with the services they receive,” states Zach Adams, Senior Health Data Engineer at U.S. News. “Our goal is to assist older adults and their families in finding living arrangements that match their personal requirements and preferences.”
Criteria for the Survey Included:
– Professionalism and friendliness of staff
