Traditions of Hanover named Best Independent Living by US News

Traditions of Hanover proudly announces its selection as a “Best Independent Living” community in the U.S. News & World Report 2025 Best Senior Living Ratings.

The 2025 edition names 1,894 senior living communities nationwide for excellence in one or more care service categories. Traditions of Hanover marks its fourth consecutive year achieving Best Independent Living status.

Since launching its Best Senior Living Ratings in 2022, U.S. News & World Report, the global authority in health care rankings and consumer advice, has helped seniors and families identify independent living, assisted living, memory care, or continuing care retirement communities that align with their needs.

The ratings reflect survey responses from nearly 450,000 residents and family members across more than 3,800 senior living communities nationwide. The survey asked participants to rate satisfaction with safety, caregiving, activities, management, staff, dining, value, and other aspects of community life.

In addition to its “Best” recognition, Traditions earned “High Performing” accolades for outstanding performance in management and staff, as well as activities and enrichment categories. U.S. News granted this distinction to communities that scored in the top 25% of evaluated communities nationwide for caregiving, activities and enrichment, management and staff, food and dining, and homelike environment and met other certain criteria.

Cathy Heimsoth, executive director of Traditions of Hanover, said, “The Traditions team is thrilled to receive Best Independent Living by U.S. News & World Report. It is an honor to work alongside such a dedicated group, who truly put our residents first and have helped make our community so vibrant and full of love. Thank you to our residents and families, your respected feedback is what helps us excel above the rest.”
