We are proud to share exciting news: True Connection Communities has been recognized in U.S. News & World Report’s 2026 Best Senior Living awards.
This national distinction is based on consumer satisfaction surveys completed by nearly 550,000 residents and their families across the country. These awards reflect the real experiences of the people who call our communities home, and that makes the recognition especially meaningful.
Across our portfolio, seven communities were honored for excellence in Independent Living, with multiple locations earning additional Emblem awards for outstanding performance in key categories such as Management & Staff, Activities & Enrichment, Feels Like Home, and Food & Dining.
What the U.S. News Recognition Means
The U.S. News Best Senior Living designation is awarded to communities that receive high ratings from residents and families in areas that matter most: quality of care, engagement opportunities, hospitality, and overall satisfaction. This recognition affirms our ongoing commitment to creating welcoming, engaging environments where residents feel connected and at home.
Communities that earn the “Best” badge demonstrate excellence in their category, while Emblem awards highlight strength in specific aspects of community life.
