Seattle, WA (PRWEB) November 21, 2013 -- SeniorHomes.com, an online resource for families searching for senior care and housing, today introduced to Las Vegas the only quantitative-based rating system for evaluating senior living communities. The company’s proprietary methodology incorporates Nevada state inspection data, ratings from local experts, and reviews from residents and their families, which is then turned into an internal rating. Based on these ratings, the top rated communities receive the Best Senior Living Awards badge of recognition.
The top honor in Las Vegas went to Willow Creek Assisted Living at San Martin. A list of the area’s other top rated communities can be found here. Providing this recognition to Las Vegas’ top communities is important to do now because it will serve as a tool to families who will soon be weighing the numerous senior care options available. Research shows that the holiday season is when many families begin exploring senior living options.
“We created the Best Senior Living Awards because the industry was lacking unbiased information for consumers. Families are looking for help in evaluating the quality of assisted living, independent living and memory care communities in the Las Vegas area, and this program gives them the impartial resource they’ve been looking for,” said Chris Rodde, CEO of SeniorHomes.com. “Through the use of Best Senior Living Awards we hope to bring attention to the excellent communities that exist in the senior living industry, perhaps shining a light on models for success. However, our website also provides information on communities with areas of concern that consumers need to know about.”
SeniorHomes.com spent over nine months gathering the necessary data to feed into its rating system. The company recruited over 200 local experts and gathered state inspection reports from 40 states across the country. State infraction counts can now be found for many communities across the country on the SeniorHomes.com website. In addition, the company gathered consumer reviews from the SeniorHomes.com website as well as other review websites on the Internet to feed its ratings.
Las Vegas’ top rated community, Willow Creek Assisted Living at San Martin, had this to say about their Best Senior Living Award. “We are thrilled to be named the best community in the Las Vegas area. This award recognizes the love that each individual who works here gives to creating not just a great place to live but a true community for our residents,” commented Dawn Aragon, Administrator for Willow Creek. “With countless senior living options to choose from, the Best Senior Living Awards will be a helpful resource for seniors and their families to objectively evaluate their options and make the best choice.”
