LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Atria Senior Living is proud to announce that 55 communities have been honored as a SeniorAdvisor.com Best of Senior Living 2021 award winner by A Place for Mom, Inc. (APFM), the largest senior living referral service in North America. The exclusive designation honors only the top three percent of senior care providers across the United States and Canada. The Best of Senior Living honor represents the best of the best of in-home care, assisted living, and other senior living providers, determined by the reviews of seniors and their families on SeniorAdvisor.com, the nation's largest ratings and reviews site for senior care and services.

Senior Living Industry is a Critical Category in Caring for Our Aging Population  Reflected in many of the top reviews, the Senior Living industry has remained a critical industry throughout the pandemic. A Place for Mom surveyed families that moved into a senior living community over the past six months with 86% of caregivers indicating that COVID did not influence their decision to move their loved one into a community during the pandemic, mainly as a result of seniors needing care beyond what could be provided at home. More so, caregiver fatigue became a reality with 77% of caregivers reporting that they have been overwhelmed by the demands of caring for a senior since the pandemic began.

"The pandemic has not slowed the need for seniors to find the right place to live the next chapter of their lives," said Sanela Graziose, Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Communications at Atria Senior Living. "We're proud that this year is the largest number of Atria communities A Place for Mom has ever recognized with this distinction. It's evident from family and resident reviews that senior living remains an ever-growing need."

In a year when the COVID-19 pandemic affected every industry, including senior living, the Best of Senior Living Awards help affirm Atria's commitment to a safer and more engaged environment for seniors, keeping residents and families connected to each other, and enabling seniors to live their best lives regardless of the circumstances. Atria communities are currently hosting COVID-19 vaccine clinics, and throughout the pandemic have managed evolving COVID-19 disease activity with escalated safety protocols under the mantra of "Stay Safe, Stay Together." Atria's safety protocols include ongoing testing, strict safety protocols, expanded telehealth and opportunities to connect safely with other residents and family. In addition, Atria's proprietary well-being app communicates resident COVID-19 symptom tracking and important announcements in real time.

"During a year that challenged all of us, and particularly frontline healthcare workers, senior living communities demonstrated resilience going above and beyond to keep residents safe, healthy, and happy," said Sue Johansen, Senior Vice President, Community Network, at A Place for Mom. "Of the nearly 45,000 senior living care providers in North America currently listed on SeniorAdvisor.com and hundreds of thousands of reviews, only the top 3% were recognized with this prestigious award, simply by providing the highest level of care that residents and their families deserve."
