Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) are facilities that offer long-term care options, allowing residents to access higher-level care when medical needs progress. The communities include Independent Living, Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing Care, and Memory Care. To provide people looking for guidance on CCRCs with a comprehensive resource for informed decision making, Statista and Newsweek have partnered for the first time to award America’s Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities 2024.
The list is based on three data sources:
- National Online Surveys: Surveys from medical professionals (e.g., registered nurses, therapists, and physicians) and staff working in the management/administration, acquaintances of residents and residents living in CCRCs, etc.
- Quality Dimension Score: For each recommended CCRC, participants were asked to rate the eight quality dimensions on a scale from 1 to 10.
- Accreditations: Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), accreditations relevant for Continuing Care Retirement Communities were considered.
