Assisted Living Magazine Ranking Methodology
View Full Ranking MethodologyHow We Score & Rank Senior Living Communities
At Assisted Living Magazine, our rankings are designed to help families compare senior living communities with clarity and confidence.
Each community is evaluated and ranked based on reputation, transparency, digital trust, and on-site quality signals.
Below is the full explanation of every factor and the exact weight it contributes to the final score.
Update cadence: Reviewed quarterly, with prompt updates when new reviews, reports, or complaints are filed.
What We Prioritize Most
The largest portion of every community’s score comes from resident feedback and online reputation (40%), which reflects real experiences shared by families and caregivers.
An additional 45% of the score comes from a combination of transparency and operational quality signals, including:
- Photos, videos, and virtual tours (visual transparency)
- Website quality and digital trust indicators
- Occupancy levels and number of units (community scale & stability)
These factors help us evaluate how well a community presents itself and how consistently it meets resident needs.
Balancing Additional Factors
The final 15% of the score comes from supportive context data, including:
- Walkability and local accessibility
- Estimated property value
- Pricing information
These elements provide helpful context but carry less weight because our rankings prioritize real-world satisfaction and care consistency first.
The result is a fair, clear, and data-driven ranking system for families researching senior living options.
Frequently Asked Questions
Several government programs offer financial assistance for senior housing in various countries, focusing on the United States for a broad overview:
- Medicaid: Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that can cover the costs of nursing home care for those who meet eligibility criteria, including income and asset limits. Some states also offer Medicaid waivers that help pay for home and community-based services to prevent or delay nursing home placement.
