Belmont Village Senior Living Recognized with 2025 U.S. News & World Report's Best Senior Living Awards
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 17, 2025--
Belmont Village Senior Living proudly announces that U.S. News & World Report Best Senior Living ratings recognized 27 of its communities with Best Senior Living designations and High Performing Accolades as part of their 2025 list of the best senior care providers in the nation. The honored communities represent nearly 80% of Belmont Village's portfolio, showing a 35% increase in representation in 2025. This marks the fourth consecutive year of acknowledgment, demonstrating Belmont Village's ongoing commitment to providing unparalleled care and services tailored to seniors' needs.
'At Belmont Village, our unwavering commitment to excellence in senior living and resident-centered care remains our highest priority,' said Patricia Will, Founder & CEO of Belmont Village Senior Living. 'We are honored that a growing number of our communities have been distinguished by U.S. News & World Report this year, reflecting our dedication to innovation and the highest standards of care.
U.S. News awards the designation of 'Best Senior Living' only to those communities that satisfy U.S. News' rigorous, data-driven standard, reflecting the viewpoints from more than 450,000 consumer surveys. Additionally, U.S. News recognizes outstanding performance in several key areas with a High Performing accolade. Now in its fourth year, the 2025 Best Senior Living ratings from U.S. News evaluated over 3,800 communities in the United States. Communities are evaluated on several criteria, including resident and family members' satisfaction with safety, care, community management and staff, value and other services and amenities.
With loneliness called 'America's invisible epidemic,' linking it to senior health concerns, U.S. News incorporated insights from the UCLA Loneliness Scale — a tool used to assess social connection and identify potential health risks related to isolation. Loneliness and isolation continue to be major concerns for older adults, with nearly 70% nationwide reporting moderate to severe feelings, according to research published in the National Library of Medicine. Based on Belmont Village's survey results, just 11% of Belmont Village residents reported similar feelings, highlighting the power of socialization and the company's deep commitment to fostering connection, community, and overall well-being.
'Choosing a senior living community is a big life decision for older adults and their loved ones. U.S. News' Best Senior Living ratings offer families a data-driven search tool, providing transparent and comprehensive assessments of quality,' said Ben Harder, managing editor and chief of health analysis at U.S. News. 'We commend the communities that have earned this distinction, reflecting their unwavering dedication to resident well-being and satisfaction.'

This U.S. State Was Just Named the Happiest for Retirees
According to a new study, there's one state in particular that has nailed the recipe for happiness. And it's the perfect place for seniors looking to live out their golden years. In late May, released its Senior Happiness Index to determine which places around the U.S. offer the highest chances of finding happiness for older people. To determine the ranking, the team analyzed a number of factors, including the number of senior centers in each state using and normalized the data per 100,000 people. It then determined the percentage of seniors (65 years and older) living alone, which was collected via the U.S. Census American Community Survey (2023), along with an overall senior health ranking taken from America's Health Rankings 2024 Senior Report. Next, it calculated the cost of living index by state using data from the Missouri Economic Research and Information Center, along with the average annual life expectancy at birth from the National Vital Statistics System. Then, it gathered data on the happiest states in the U.S. using a 2024 study by WalletHub and finally assigned each state a score from zero to 10. After looking at all that information, the team named Utah the happiest state of all for seniors. "Utah tops the list with the most content seniors, scoring 7.69 out of 10 thanks to its supportive environment for senior living," the findings noted." Utah was also named the healthiest state for older people in 2024, and it ranks as the third-lowest percentage of those aged 65 and over living alone (21.48 percent), reducing the risk of social isolation." The findings also noted that Utah is among the top five happiest states in general and is a spot where more than two-fifths (44 percent) actively volunteer, which is the highest rate in the nation. "This not only means Utah's aging population is staying connected and involved with their community, but volunteering also contributes significantly to Utah seniors' well-being and happiness," the findings added. Idaho came in a close second with a score of 7.38, thanks to most of its seniors living with others, ensuring fewer people are experiencing loneliness. And as the findings stated, it's a fantastic spot for seniors looking to live an active lifestyle with "30 state parks to explore and proximity to national treasures like Yellowstone." Rounding out the top three is Connecticut, with a score of 7.01, thanks to its strong statistics, including the third-highest average life expectancy, access to health care, and its ranking among the top 10 happiest states overall on WalletHub's rankings.
