How this list is made
- Who is asked. Senior Living Alliance calls residents and their families and records each interview. Nothing is scraped, anonymous, or submitted online. How we verify testimonials
- What is counted. Move-in, pulse, move-out, and skilled nursing interviews from September 2025 to September 2026. The score is the average overall rating those interviews gave, out of 5.
- Who qualifies. Communities with at least 20 interviews in that time, so no community is ranked on a handful of answers.
- Who can appear. Only communities that partner with Senior Living Alliance for resident interviews can be on this list, because only they have interviews to rank. They pay for the interviews, not for a place on the list, and the order is set by the scores alone. How Lilisity is paid
- How often. The list is recalculated from the latest interviews every night.
