SeniorAdvisor.com, the premier ratings and reviews website for senior care and services nationwide, announced the Best of 2015 Awards. Nearly 900 assisted living, in-home care, and other senior housing providers across the U.S. were recognized this year.
The annual Awards recognize outstanding senior living and home care providers who have received consistently high ratings from residents and their families.
Winners of the SeniorAdvisor.com Best of 2015 Awards represent the top tier of in-home care, assisted living, and other senior living providers.
Editor’s note: Many facilities were not rated as families didn’t respond to the survey.
This exclusive designation places winners in the top 1% of senior care providers nationwide according to their families. We’ve also included many of the top 5-star rated facilities. There were 63,544 reviews nationwide in 4 different categories: assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and home care.
To qualify for these Award, winners must have an average over-all rating of at least 4.5 stars and a minimum number of reviews. Plus, winners must offer at least one of the following types of care: assisted living, Alzheimer’s care, independent living, low-income senior housing, skilled nursing, or in-home care. This is the first year in-home care providers were eligible.
“SeniorAdvisor.com aims to help families research and locate reliable, first-hand feedback on senior care options from other families who have gone through this experience,” said Eric Seifert, President of SeniorAdvisor.com.
Four Categories. Not long ago, there were two options for senior living: living independently and full-time skilled nursing care. The assisted living concept was created to provide an additional option bridging the two.
Assisted living is a community-based long-term living arrangement designed for seniors who need some help with the activities of daily living (ADLs), but who want to preserve as much independence as possible.
In-home care, also referred to as home care or home health care, is provided to a senior adult by a caregiving professional to assist the senior with the ADL.
Skilled nursing is the industry term for the kind of round-the-clock care that patients receive in a nursing home, retirement home, or skilled nursing facility. These facilities offer a range of important daily care and rehabilitative services for seniors, along with social activities and special events.
Alzheimer’s care, also known as memory care, is full-time professional care provided in a residential facility to senior adults dealing with the effects of any form of chronic memory impairment. Though the specific forms of elder dementia may differ, the functional needs of senior adults living with these conditions are essentially the same.
