American House Communities Recognized in U.S. News Best Senior Living Ratings

We’re proud to share that 25 of our American House communities have been recognized in the latest Best Senior Living ratings from U.S. News & World Report. This means that in total, more than 35% of our communities earned a combined 93 “Best of” badges and accolades.

For its fifth year, U.S. News & World Report has provided health care rankings and consumer guidance for the senior living category. These ratings play an important role in helping older adults and their families make confident, informed decisions when choosing a senior living community.

The recognition by U.S. News is rooted in what matters most: direct feedback from our residents and their loved ones. Their insights reflect satisfaction across key areas like safety, care, dining, activities, team members and overall value. The research behind these rankings also underscores the meaningful impact of senior living communities.

For American House, these honors reinforce what we strive for every day—creating communities where our residents feel safe and supported, maintain important connections with family and friends and enjoy an active maintenance-free lifestyle.

93 Badges and Accolades for our 25 Communities

In the U.S. News & World Report Best Senior Living Awards, badges are official designations given to communities that earn top ratings in care categories like independent living, assisted living, or memory care. Accolades recognize strong performance in specific areas such as dining, activities, caregiving, or staff. The difference is that badges represent overall category recognition, while accolades highlight strengths in individual aspects of the resident experience.
