To be honored as a Caring Star, your senior living community has to have a high volume of positive and recent reviews, a great overall average rating, and a response to every negative review. It's a distinction that's worth the effort: historically, it led to (on average) twice as many inquiries and move-ins for referral partners with the award vs. those without — further demonstrating how this annual list is truly helping to identify the most-popular providers.

Caring Super Stars takes the recognition to the next level: identifying those senior living communities who have been Caring Stars in 3 or more years since 2012. These are the super stellar senior living communities that family caregivers and older adults love and rave about — year after year.
