U.S. News & World Report recognizes 22 HumanGood communities in 2026 “Best Senior Living” awards

04/14/2026 | By

April 14, 2026 - We are proud to announce that 22 HumanGood life plan communities have received a “Best” recognition by U.S. News & World Report in their 2026 “Best Senior Living” awards.

U.S. News & World Report evaluated more than 3,000 senior living communities through resident and family surveys and rated them by assessing perception of overall satisfaction and core services (management, dining, caregiving and nursing). Communities were evaluated across four categories: Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care and Continuing Care Retirement Communities. Less than 2,000 communities evaluated earned a “Best” recognition and only 61 were recognized as “Best Continuing Care Retirement Community”.

In total, 22 HumanGood communities received recognition for one or more categories, while ten communities were recognized as “Best Continuing Care Retirement Community.”

These ratings showcase HumanGood’s commitment to helping our residents live their best lives and represents the outstanding work of our team members every day.

Congratulations to our communities for these impressive achievements!

Senior Living Accolades
Each community – whether rated among the Best or not – has been considered for several accolades covering activities & enrichment, care, home-like feel, food & dining, and management & staff. U.S. News selected these categories of service because they are important differentiators for many consumers. Accolade-earning communities’ usnews.com profiles will highlight that they are, for example, “High Performing in Food & Dining.” HumanGood received a total of 103 accolades.
