For decades, U.S. News & World Report has been a trusted resource for consumers seeking the best in hospitals, mutual funds, cars, colleges, nursing homes, and more. Now in its fourth year, U.S. News & World Report continues to recognize excellence in senior living by identifying the best independent living, assisted living, and memory care communities across the country.
We’re proud to share that over 90% of Leisure Care communities have been recognized in at least one of these categories as nationally rated or high performing—a reflection of our ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional experiences and care to residents and their families.
Leisure Care’s Award-Winning Senior Living
Finding high-quality senior living is more important than ever, as older adults continue to redefine what retirement looks like. Today’s communities are robust, dynamic places where older adults live purposefully and joyfully. With homeownership becoming more complex and demanding, an increasing number of individuals and families are turning to senior living communities that provide trusted care, meaningful connection, and dignified support.
“U.S. News provides in-depth information on multiple community types to help potential residents and their families find, in consultation with their doctors as needed, the best place to help meet their needs,” said Zach Adams, senior health data engineer at U.S. News. “Communities that are highly rated excel in making residents feel safe, well cared for, and highly satisfied by the services provided.”
The 2025 U.S. News Best Senior Living awards are based on resident satisfaction surveys conducted between March 2024 and February 2025, reflecting feedback from more than 200,000 residents across approximately 4,000 senior living communities nationwide. Survey topics covered essential aspects of daily life, including:
- The kindness and professionalism of the staff
- Variety and quality of activities
- Dining experience and food quality
- Local transportation offerings
- Quality of on-site caregiving
We are honored by this recognition and even more grateful to the residents and families who inspire us every day.
