PHOENIX (June 27, 2024) – Sagewood, a life plan community in North Phoenix, has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a 2024 best independent living continuing care retirement community.
For its 2024 Best Senior Living ratings, U.S. News evaluated nearly 3,500 communities on several criteria, including resident and family members’ satisfaction with safety, care, community management, staff, value, and services and amenities provided by the community. Sagewood earned the highest possible rating in all categories.
“We work every single day to ensure residents receive the highest level of care and are proud to call Sagewood their home,” says Ed Smith, executive director. “We are honored that our residents and their families rated us so highly that we were included in the U.S News & World Report’s annual ‘Best of Senior Living’ awards.”
U.S. News awards the designation of “Best Senior Living” only to those communities that satisfy U.S. News’ statistical assessment of performance on consumer satisfaction surveys administered in the previous two calendar years, reflecting the viewpoints of more than 400,000 residents and family members. Only the highest-rated communities in each care level earned a “best” rating. 
“Best Senior Living reflects U.S. News’ commitment to helping families navigate the important – albeit time-consuming – decision of researching and choosing a senior living community through trusted, data-backed community ratings,” said Sumita Singh, general manager of Health at U.S. News. “We are proud to recognize those communities that stand out as ‘Best’ by providing exceptional care and satisfaction, as directly expressed by residents and family members of residents who live and thrive in these communities.”
In addition to offering some of the best independent living options in Phoenix, Sagewood also offers assisted living, skilled nursing, short- and long-term rehabilitation, and memory care.
