“We are honored to be included on this prestigious list.

Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) are facilities that offer a continuum of long-term care options, allowing residents to access higher-level care when medical needs progress. The communities typically include Independent Living, Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing Care, and Memory Care. To provide people looking for guidance on CCRCs with a comprehensive resource for informed decision-making, Statista and Newsweek have partnered for the first time to award America‘s Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities 2024.
The list is based on three data sources:
1. National Online Surveys: Surveys from medical professionals (e.g., registered nurses, therapists, and physicians) and staff working in the management/administration, acquaintances of residents and residents living in CCRCs, etc.
2. Quality Dimension Score: For each recommended CCRC, participants were asked to rate the following eight quality dimensions on a scale from 1 to 10.
3. Accreditations: Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), accreditations relevant to Continuing Care Retirement Communities were considered.
To provide people looking for guidance on CCRCs with a comprehensive resource for informed decision-making, Statista and Newsweek have partnered for the first time to award the leading CCRCs in the US.
