Hershey, Pa. (April 24, 2024) – Ecumenical Retirement Community, a not-for-profit retirement community in Harrisburg, Pa., is pleased to announce that it has been recognized as Best Independent Senior Living for 2024 by US News & World Report. In addition, each of sister company Country Meadows Retirement Communities’ 10 locations have been recognized as Best Senior Living in one or more service categories. US News & World Report analyzed more than 200,000 resident and family surveys from nearly 4,000 senior living communities to find the communities that excelled at making residents feel safe, well cared for and highly satisfied. “While the US News & World Report recognition is certainly an honor, what makes this distinction especially meaningful is that it is merited based on our residents’ and their families’ feedback on their experience with us,” said Meredith Mills, President and CEO of Ecumenical Retirement Community and Country Meadows.
In 2022, US News & World Report added the Best Senior Living recognition to its roster of consumer ratings awards, which also includes Best Nursing Homes and Best Hospitals. This was the first time that Ecumenical and Country Meadows participated in the national survey to be eligible for consideration.
