Maybe even Sophia Petrillo would have given up Miami for the nation鈥檚 capital, as the D.C. region scored well in.
The fifth edition of the report surveyed more than half a million residents and their families 鈥� its largest sample ever 鈥� and analyzed more than 3,000 senior living communities nationwide.
鈥淲e evaluate assisted living, independent living and memory care,鈥� said Liz Pearce, product director for senior living at U.S. 91欧美激情 & World Report. 鈥淲e also look at communities called CCRCs, or continuing care retirement communities.鈥�
CCRCs offer multiple levels of care 鈥� including skilled nursing 鈥� allowing residents to remain in the same community as their health care needs evolve.
鈥淭hose communities that were recognized in the D.C. metro area really stand out because they excel at providing both high-quality care and high-quality lifestyle services,鈥� Pearce said.
The ratings gauge how residents feel about their experiences, including interactions with management, food and dining, amenities, and activities.
鈥淚t鈥檚 really about satisfaction 鈥� whether the community provides an environment that feels like home,鈥� Pearce said.
The report shows that, out of the 292 senior living communities in the District, 50 of them earned a 鈥淏est鈥� ranking, trailing only New York which had 65, Chicago with 61, and Boston with 57.
鈥淭hese are big decisions, and they鈥檙e hard decisions for a lot of families,鈥� Pearce added. 鈥淏eing able to bring that many perspectives to the table helps families identify communities that might be a good fit. That鈥檚 something we鈥檝e been really proud of this year.鈥�
