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.”
