The Announcement Coming
May 12th
We reveal the senior living communities that have earned the most rigorous security designation in the industry.
May 12, 2026 — The Reveal
Safety is the foundation of everything we do.
Families making senior living decisions are searching for more than amenities and price points. They are searching for peace of mind — the certainty that their loved one is in a place that takes security seriously, proactively, and provably.
The Safest Places to Live™ designation exists to answer that question before families even have to ask it. It is documented proof that a community has met the most rigorous resident security standard in senior living.
"Finding a community that prioritizes safety as a core value has given my family confidence we made the right choice."
— James L., Resident Son
