VERO BEACH, Fla., April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- For the third year, Watercrest Spanish Springs Assisted Living and Memory Care has been prestigiously recognized by U.S. News & World Report earning "Best Assisted Living Community and Best Memory Care Community" in the 2026 Best Senior Living Communities Report.

U.S. News & World Report rankings are awarded by analyzing data from nearly 550,000 consumer experience surveys at more than 3,200 senior living communities nationwide. The survey asks residents and family members about their satisfaction with community safety, caregiving, activities, management, staff, food, value and other aspects of community life. The Best Senior Living ratings recognize communities that received the highest overall scores in the care level or levels they offer.

U.S. News & World Report recently added High-Performing Emblems as an additional recognition for communities whose trust score was in the top 25 percent of all scores nationwide. Watercrest Spanish Springs achieved a high-performing emblem in the category of Memory Care: Food and Dining. Additionally, the community received notably high ratings in both assisted living and memory care for care services, activities and enrichment, safety, value, staff and management, and feels like home.
