Glenmeadow Named to List of Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities

LONGMEADOW — Glenmeadow has been named one of America’s Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities 2026 by Newsweek, ranking in the top 10 in Massachusetts. This prestigious award is presented in collaboration with Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The awards list was announced on Nov. 19 and can currently be viewed on Newsweek’s website.

America’s Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities 2026 have been selected through a comprehensive methodology of assessing quality resident care. The evaluation awards the leading 330 facilities in the U.S. based on four key pillars: reputation, visitor satisfaction, accreditation, and Google reviews. The analysis is based on an independent survey that included thousands of residents and acquaintances of residents living in continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs).

The award serves to reinforce that Glenmeadow is dedicated to offering high-quality care and services to older adults, including a range of living options such as independent living, assisted living, respite care, and at-home care services. Glenmeadow offers a wide range of amenities and community opportunities, including newly renovated spaces designed for connection and well-being and the annual Age of Excellence Awards, honoring older adults who inspire vitality. Glenmeadow leaders believe aging is not a retreat, but a rise, and the community’s holistic approach aims to ensure that residents feel valued, supported, and empowered to live their lives to the fullest.

“This recognition truly reflects the dedication of the entire Glenmeadow community and our unwavering commitment to delivering an outstanding experience for our residents and staff,” said Kathy Martin, president and CEO of Glenmeadow. “Being acknowledged alongside both nonprofit and for-profit continuing care retirement communities underscores that high-quality service transcends business models. Nonprofit CCRCs play a crucial role in the senior living sector, consistently providing exemplary care and services.”
