PITTSFORD, N.Y. —Glenmere has been recognized by U.S. News and World Report as a 2026 Best Assisted Living Community.
National Recognition Based on Resident and Family Feedback
Now in its fifth year, the 2026 Best Senior Living ratings from U.S. News evaluated more than 3,000 communities across the United States. Communities were assessed on several key criteria, including Resident and family member satisfaction with safety, care, community management, staff, value, and other essential services and amenities.
Leadership Perspective on the Recognition
“What makes this recognition especially meaningful is that it’s rooted in the voices of our Residents and their families. Their feedback reflects the care, connections, and sense of belonging that make Glenmere such a special place to call home,” said Rebecca Priest, Director of Assisted Living at Glenmere. “As the need for assisted living and memory care continues to grow, this honor positions us strongly for the future — but even more importantly, it reaffirms our commitment to delivering an exceptional experience for every Resident and family we serve.”
Top 25% Nationally for Caregiving, Dining, Enrichment, and Resident Experience
Only the highest-rated communities in each care level earned a “Best” rating from U.S. News, reflecting the viewpoints from nearly 550,000 consumer surveys.
In addition to the primary rating, Glenmere was recognized for high performance in Activities & Enrichment, Caregiving, Feels Like Home, Food & Dining, and Management & Staff. These accolades are awarded only to communities that scored in the top 25 percent of evaluated communities nationwide.
“Choosing a senior living community is a significant life decision for older adults and their families. U.S. News’ Best Senior Living ratings provide a transparent, data-driven tool to help families identify the highest-quality care available,” said Ben Harder, Managing Editor and Chief of Health Analysis at U.S. News. “We commend the communities that have earned this distinction, which reflects a deep commitment to resident well-being and exceptional service.”
