Two Elder Care Alliance communities are recognized again this year, and a third joins them among the top in senior living. We are excited to announce AlmaVia of Camarillo and AlmaVia of San Francisco have earned the honor for a second consecutive year, and Mercy Retirement & Care Center joins them in being named best by U.S. News & World Report in the 2024-2025 Best Senior Living Ratings.
Of the more than 3,500 senior living communities evaluated this year, only 1,703 were named “Best” communities. For a second year in a row, AlmaVia of Camarillo was awarded Best Assisted Living and Best Memory Care, and AlmaVia of San Francisco was awarded Best Assisted Living. Mercy Retirement & Care Center earned Best Memory Care.
The ratings recognize communities that have excelled at providing highly satisfactory services and making residents feel safe and well cared for. Communities are evaluated for each type of service provided using information from resident and family surveys. The survey asked residents and family members about their satisfaction with various aspects, including safety, caregiving, management, staff, food and dining, and activities. U.S. News analyzed the survey data and applied several weightings and adjustments to create the final scores.
Communities had to meet eligibility criteria, including survey completion and participation rates, to be included in the ratings. Only communities with the highest scores in each category were recognized as the “Best” communities.
