Bloomfield, CT – May 10, 2022 – Duncaster has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a 2022-23 Best Independent Senior Living Community.

Duncaster earned “Best” status by achieving the highest possible rating for Independent Living. U.S. News awards the designation of Best Senior Living only to those communities that satisfy U.S. News’s objective statistical assessment of each senior living community’s performance from consumer satisfaction surveys administered between March 2021 and February 2022, reflecting the viewpoints of more than 200,000 current residents and family members of residents living in thousands of senior living communities nationwide. 

“Duncaster is proud to have been named one of the Best Independent Senior Living communities in the nation. I am grateful to our dedicated staff whose hard work made this award possible, and to the residents of Duncaster who make doing our jobs such a pleasure.” – Kelly Papa, President and CEO

The inaugural U.S. News Best Senior Living ratings and profiles offer comprehensive information and exclusive analysis of consumer satisfaction data evaluating such factors as community & activity, food & dining, caregiving, and management & staff for nearly 2,500 communities in the continental U.S. and Hawaii. For more than 30 years, U.S. News has served the American public as an unbiased arbiter of quality across a variety of important choices. Whether picking a college, selecting a hospital or moving to a nursing home, consumers go to U.S. News to research and make consequential life decisions.

“Until now, families have had limited information when comparing providers of independent living, assisted living, memory care or continuing care,” said Ben Harder, managing editor and chief of health analysis at U.S. News. “The Best Senior Living ratings fill this informational gap with comprehensive and transparent data to help older consumers and their families identify high-quality senior living communities that meet their needs and preferences.”
