A National Recognition That Reflects Real Experiences
Each year, the U.S. News Best Senior Living ratings evaluate more than 3,000 communities across the country. What makes these ratings stand out is that they’re based on direct feedback from residents and families.
Communities are evaluated on:
- Safety and security
- Quality of care
- Staff and communication
- Value
- Overall satisfaction
Only the highest-performing communities earn the “Best Senior Living” designation—making this recognition especially meaningful for families making important decisions.
Recognized Across the Areas That Matter Most
In addition to its overall Best Assisted Living designation, Holland Farms earned high-performing accolades in:
- Management & Staff
- Caregiving
- Activities & Enrichment
- “Feels Like Home”
These honors are reserved for communities ranking in the top 25% nationwide, highlighting excellence not just in care—but in the full resident experience.
