U.S. News & World Report Best Independent Living Community

 

Willow Valley Communities, a premier 55-plus community in Lancaster, PA has been rated a Best Independent Living Community by U.S. News & World Report in its inaugural Best Senior Living ratings for 2022-2023.

U.S. News & World Report and its survey provider,  Activated Insights, collected data on more than 3,000 communities throughout the continental U.S. and Hawaii, representing more than 80 senior living operators. Residents and families were also asked to rate their experiences on various aspects of senior living.  From that data set, U.S. News analysts rated Willow Valley Communities as a “Best” in the category of Independent Living.

Willow Valley Communities’ chief marketing officer, Brian T. Rutter said he is delighted by the rating, but added that he is most humbled by the nearly 200 comments of praise that Willow Valley Communities residents and family members added to their survey responses. The comments are posted on the U.S. News & World Report’s web site. 

Rutter further added how the “Best” Independent Living Community rating fits perfectly with Willow Valley Communities’ Life Lived Forward philosophy.  “At Willow Valley Communities, we’re focused on rethinking retirement.
