The Commons Wins Recognition as the Best Independent Living Community in Massachusetts

We are exceptionally pleased to be recognized as one of the 2022–23 Best Senior Living communities in the United States in U.S. News & World Report’s inaugural edition of Best Senior Living.

Not only was The Commons in Lincoln recognized as one of the best senior communities in the country, but it was also the only community in Massachusetts to be recognized for Best Independent Living.

A reflection of the quality relationships between residents and associates.

The recognition reflects our community’s incredible associates who make The Commons a senior living experience that transcends the ordinary.

Retired but never retiring, our residents come from diverse backgrounds. They seek a stimulating and fulfilling lifestyle in a sophisticated environment with world-class services and amenities, and they find it here at The Commons.

Residents report excellence in consumer survey.

The new U.S. News report is the definitive resource for those looking for the finest in senior living.

To be considered for the award, The Commons had to meet certain eligibility criteria, and residents of the community participated in a consumer satisfaction survey in which they were asked to rate their experience in a range of areas, including staff kindness, activities, food quality, services and the quality of caregiving.

The report included surveys from 3,000 Independent Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care communities across the United States.

Residents of The Commons highly recommended the community and acknowledged excellence in the following areas:

• Community and activities
• High value
• Variety of life-enrichment activities
• Homelike feel
• Safety
• Local transportation
• Food and dining
• Variety of meals
• Prompt dining service and friendly dining staff
• Responsive management and staff

Thankful for our residents and associates.

We are thrilled the publication of “Best Senior Living” will allow people nationwide to learn more about our wonderful community and imagine life at the Commons.

Thanks to the residents who completed the survey and our team members who made the recognition possible.
