St. Francis Park recognized by U.S. News & World Report

U.S. News & World Report recently revealed its 2023-2024 Best Senior Living ratings to assist seniors and their families with researching and choosing the best senior living community for them.

Now in its second year, U.S. News’ Best Senior Living ratings evaluated nearly 4,000 communities in the United States in one or more of the following categories: independent living, assisted living, memory care and continuing care retirement.

Americare Senior Living had 68 percent of their communities recognized, including St. Francis Park Assisted Living in Kennett.

St. Francis Park Administrator Toni Holcomb stated, “It’s very humbling. I work for a great company, Americare.”

Holcomb added, “Americare is a top-notch organization with high standards in every area.”

“U.S. News provides in-depth information on multiple community types to help potential residents and their families find, in consultation with their doctors as needed, the best place to meet their needs,” said Zach Adams, senior health data engineer at U.S. News. “Communities that are highly rated excel in making residents feel safe, well cared for, and highly satisfied by the services provided.”

To be recognized as one of the 2023-2024 U.S. News Best Senior Living Communities, individual locations had to earn a specific final weighted score tabulated in the independent methodology developed by the U.S. News health data analytics team.

The team will present a webinar on the ratings and the methodology behind it on May 18 for consumers, industry leaders, and journalists.

Holcomb shared, “This award would not have been given to us without our team. It takes a team.” Holcomb continued, “It takes a family. It takes a family to run this and nurture our residents.”

St. Francis Park is located at 1806 St. Francis Street in Kennett.

“This award truly belongs to the entire staff,” stressed Holcomb. “Each day we work hard to deliver person-centered care and to operate in a way that is true to Americare’s philosphy.”

“We’re very proud to have been recognized for our efforts,” she concluded.
