America's Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities 2027 Survey
Newsweek and Statista are proud to evaluate America's Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities 2027.
As the population ages, the care needs of its members evolve, and continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) offer a solution by providing a campus where individuals can access the appropriate level of resources throughout their later years. These communities cater to different stages of aging, ranging from independent living to assisted living and memory care, making them increasingly attractive options for those who are still capable of living independently but value the amenities and convenience that CCRCs provide.
In 2024, the occupancy rate for independent living in CCRCs reached a record high of 91.1 percent, surpassing all other forms of senior living and care settings. This trend is one of the reasons behind Newsweek's partnership with Statista for the fourth consecutive year to compile America's Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities 2027.
Last year, the list featured 330 of the nation's top CCRCs, chosen based on expert recommendations and an analysis of facility performance data. This year, Newsweek aims to deliver an in-depth evaluation of this rapidly expanding industry. The survey will be accessible online until September 11, 2026.
