U.S. News & World Report Names St. James Place Among Best Senior Living Communities for 2025
St. James Place is the only Independent Living facility in Louisiana to be recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a 2025 Best Senior Living community.
Now in its fourth year, the 2025 Best Senior Living ratings from U.S. News evaluated over 3,800 communities in the United States. Communities are evaluated on several criteria, including resident and family members’ satisfaction with safety, care, community management and staff, value and other services and amenities.
“We are proud of this national recognition because it is based on the opinions of the residents of our community. We consider it a joy and a blessing to serve our close to 400 residents and the many more family members. We say a big THANK YOU to them for this honor,” said Dick Wager, President and CEO of St. James Place.
U.S. News awards the designation of “Best Senior Living” only to those communities that satisfy U.S. News' rigorous, data-driven standard, reflecting the viewpoints from more than 450,000 consumer surveys. Only the highest-rated communities in each care level earned a “Best” rating. U.S. News also recognizes outstanding performance in several key areas with a High Performing accolade. These accolades are awarded to communities that scored in the top 25% of evaluated communities nationwide for Caregiving, Activities & Enrichment, Management & Staff, Food and “Feels Like Home,” and met certain other criteria.
"Choosing a senior living community is a big life decision for older adults and their loved ones. U.S. News' Best Senior Living ratings offer families a data-driven search tool, providing transparent and comprehensive assessments of quality,” said Ben Harder, managing editor and chief of health analysis at U.S. News. “We commend the communities that have earned this distinction, reflecting their unwavering dedication to resident well-being and satisfaction.”
