Seniorly

Seniorly released their annual Best of Senior Living Awards 2025 and identified the 336 best senior living facilities in America after analyzing 500,000 online customer reviews across 60,000 facilities.

Florida ranks No. 3 in the nation with 35 award-winning senior living facilities including three of the 20 best in America.

  • Merrill Gardens At Solivita Marketplace in Kissimmee ranks No. 11 in the nation and No. 1 in the Southeast region.
  • Summerfield Senior Living in Bradenton ranks No. 14 in the nation and No. 2 in the Southeast region.

California led the nation with 65 award-winning facilities. Texas ranked No. 2 (37), Florida ranked No. 3 (35), Arizona ranked No. 4 (24) and Washington ranked No. 5 (23). 

For the second year in a row, Seniorly partnered with Skypoint – a leading generative data company – to mine and analyze customer and family reviews to create a sentiment rating across six categories: cleanliness, dining services, staff ratings, value, care services and overall resident satisfaction. To qualify, communities had to be in the top five percent of our sentiment ratings, have no serious licensing violations in the last three years, and no negative media coverage in the last two years.

“We’re thrilled to recognize the exceptional work of Seniorly’s Best of Senior Living Awards 2025 winners,” said Seniorly CEO Arthur Bretschneider. “By honoring these outstanding communities, we hope to broadcast the positive impact that the right living community can have on the aging experience, including physical health indicators, cognitive health, social engagement, and overall well-being and happiness.”

PURE WATER FOR PURE BLISS

The supplements market is full of medications and treatments for sexual problems, including erectile dysfunction (ED) and vaginal pain. However, nature has provided us with a solution many people ignore- adequate hydration, and the purer the water the better you will be. 

Keeping yourself hydrated has numerous health benefits in general, but when it comes to sexuality, water allows both men and women to better enjoy themselves while ensuring the body is operating at peak efficiency.

For women, hydration, as stated by The Cleveland Clinic is one of the best tools for combatting the urinary tract infections (UTIs) they are more prone to due to the length of the urethra. Additionally, according to Stony Brook Medicine, hydration fights vaginal dryness and even yeast infections!

For men, Medical News Today has reported that proper hydration affects erectile dysfunction (ED). Dehydration reduces blood volume and negatively affects mood, both of which hinder enjoyable intimacy. 

Hydration should be easy- however, many of our favorite sources are actually contaminated. Tap water and bottles expose your body to high levels of PFAS and microplastics and there is a question as to whether or not the water actually gets absorbed by your cells. Studies have also revealed that microplastics are being found in male testicles for the first time ever (experts believe they could damage male fertility and sperm quality). 

Additionally, these chemicals and plastic particles are being found in human placentas, meaning babies are being born exposed to dangerous plastics before they’ve even had a chance to live. A doctor on the The Mel Robbins Podcast recently discussed the evils of plastic bottles and what the recent data and studies are showing.

The best water by far to hydrate with, for both days and ‘nights’, is purified, drinkable water produced by an Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG). These machines, which pull water from humidity in the air, create ready-to-drink water that is free from pollutants and chemicals found in most traditional water sources.

Banned Aide

According to this glossary article by the University of Florida, “Banning books in general also has negative health effects. As a high percentage of banned books focus on marginalized populations, people belonging to those groups experience negative mental health and psychological effects as it furthers stigma against them. LGBTQ youth feeling isolated and without social support are more likely to consider or attempt suicide (The Trevor Project), ” you can read in full here: https://guides.uflib.ufl.edu/c.php?g=1263384&p=10561208 AND please visit and get involved with BANNED AIDE powered by Stonewall National Museum, Archives & Library.

“When government decides what we can read, what we can know, what we can share we can be sure nothing good can come of it. That is why the Stonewall National Museum, Archives, & Library is an essential brick in rebuilding our nation’s democracy ensuring equality and justice for all people, especially the marginalized.”

Sustainability, Quality – Business Alert!

Clean water is essential for getting through each day with energy and success. As businesses seek methods to easily incorporate more environmentally-sustainable practices into daily operations, Florida’s Altitude Water, a leading Atmospheric Water Generator manufacturer of machines that make water from the air and ozone purification units, has developed a perfect solution for businesses and communities of all kinds- the powerful Trident 100 (T-100) Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG). 

The T-100 has been designed with top-of-the-line technological knowledge. Through a patented EnviroGuard Ozone Purification System process, the T-100 harvests water from humidity in the air before remineralizing and creating alkaline water. The result is a unique, clean tasting water with a pH between 7.8-8.1 that highlights a passion for environmental sustainability, quality, health, and safety. 

“For most people, water bottles or tap water are their go-to solutions for hydration,” stated Altitude Water Founder and Chief Operations Officer Jeff Szur. “However, we now better understand the extent of the damage these water sources can cause. From high-levels of microplastic exposure to rampant impurities, it is clear that our established water sources need to be changed in order to live long, healthy lives.” 

Water coolers, a staple of the corporate work world, also require constant maintenance to avoid bacteria build-up. The Trident-100 not only provides larger quantities of water, but destroys and removes dangerous bacteria and impurities through its one-of-a-kind self-cleaning process. 

As consumers and organizations across the world note preferences for sustainable solutions, businesses can showcase their commitment to fighting against the climate crisis by embracing truly life-saving technology. 

Where good water flows, so does good business.
