CAROLINA MEADOWS NAMED ON U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT’S BEST INDEPENDENT LIVING AND BEST ASSISTED LIVING LISTS
14 Mayo 2024 - 12:00PM
Carolina Meadows, one of the Southeast’s leading continuing care
retirement communities, located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina,
announced today its inclusion on U.S. News & World Report’s
lists of Best Independent Living and Best Assisted Living.
“It is a huge honor to be named to both of these prestigious
lists,” said Kevin McLeod, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Carolina Meadows. “This recognition validates that we’re delivering
on our mission every day to enrich and improve the lives of
residents and those connected to our community. A heartfelt thanks
goes out to our phenomenal staff whose compassion, attention to
detail and hard work is responsible for creating our community’s
special culture.”
For its lists, U.S. News & World Report defines Independent
Living as communities for seniors who can live on their own and do
not require outside assistance, while Assisted Living refers to
communities for those who need some help with the activities of
daily living, such as bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, and
transferring from bed to chair or toilet.
To determine which communities should earn a place on its lists,
U.S. News & World Report conducted satisfaction surveys among
residents and their family members at 4,000 senior living
communities nationwide in 2023. Respondents weighed in on their
perceptions of safety, value, caregiving, management, staff, food
and dining, and activities. The surveys’ data identified
communities that excel at making residents feel safe, well cared
for and highly satisfied with the services they receive.
“We’re hyper-focused on the well-being and enjoyment of each and
every resident,” said Ben Cornthwaite, Chief Operating Officer of
Carolina Meadows. “We want them to be able to lead a fulfilling and
comfortable life in our community, and this award signals to
families that their loved ones are in excellent hands.”
For decades, U.S. News & World Report's rankings have served
as a valuable reference for consumers when making life's toughest
decisions on health care, college and more. In 2022, it began
publishing its Best Senior Living lists to help families compare
providers of independent living, assisted living, memory care and
continuing care.
