For decades, U.S. News & World Report has been a trusted name in ranking everything from hospitals and colleges to cars and mutual funds. Now in its fourth consecutive year, their Best Senior Living ratings are helping older adults and their families identify top-tier senior living communities across the country.

We’re proud to announce that The Landing of North Haven has been named among the Best Senior Living Communities in the nation—recognized in 2025 as Best Assisted Living and Best Memory Care. This recognition means so much to us because it’s based on what matters most: the voices of our residents and their families.

Take a closer look at the methodology of the rankings and see how we stacked up!

U.S. News and World Report Best Senior Living Awards

Today’s older adults are redefining what retirement looks like. Senior living is no longer a final step—it’s a fresh start, full of purpose, independence, and connection. At The Landing of North Haven, we’re proud to be part of this movement, offering services and care that protect privacy, promote dignity, and encourage joyful living. That’s exactly what U.S. News & World Report set out to measure in its 2025 Best Senior Living Awards.

“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.”

Their in-depth survey collected feedback from over 200,000 residents and family members across nearly 4,000 communities nationwide between March 2024 and February 2025.

The survey covered key factors like:

• The kindness and professionalism of staff
• Quality and enjoyment of food and dining
• Engagement through activities and programs
• Responsiveness of caregivers and team members
• Safety, respect, and sense of community

• 97% of residents said they feel safe in our community

But don’t just take our word for it—here’s what our residents and families had to say:

“I have been living at The Landing for 2.5 years. My life is peaceful, calm, and involved. I have made many friends, which enhances my life.”

“I think this is a great place. The community meets the needs of anyone who might need assistance. All the staff are very kind and very helpful.”

“Several years ago, when the family member who was caretaking my mom and special needs sister fell ill, we were faced with a difficult decision. I had driven by The Landing many times and always meant to stop in. Now I had to go right away. The caring and compassion that our family was met with by the sales staff and now everyone that works there has just been amazing. The best-kept secret in New Haven County! The value and peace of mind I now have, especially when traveling means the world to my family and me. Thank you!”
