ERIE, Pa. – The Residence at Presque Isle Bay earned U.S. News & World Report 2025 Best Senior Living status by achieving the highest possible rating in Assisted Living.
The Residence at Presque Isle Bay’s Best Assisted Living status is a result of U.S. News & World Report’s trusted, data-backed ratings of the best senior living communities across the United States.
“Our community teams work 24/7 to enhance the lives of our seniors and their families,” said Larry Rouvelas, CEO of IntegraCare, which operates The Residence at Presque Isle Bay. “While beautiful buildings and amenities are appealing, it’s the quality of life within those buildings that matters.”
The awards are based entirely on third-party surveys of residents and families. For its 2025 Best Senior Living ratings, U.S. News & World Report surveyed them in nearly 3,800 communities on several criteria, including resident and family members’ satisfaction with safety, care, community management and staff, value and other services and amenities provided by the community.
U.S. News & World Report awards the designation of “Best Senior Living” only to those communities that satisfy U.S. News’ rigorous, data-driven standard. It is a statistical assessment of performance based on consumer satisfaction surveys from the past two calendar years, incorporating feedback from over 450,000 residents and family members. Only the highest-rated communities in each care level received a ‘Best’ rating.
The survey results provide real-world perspectives from the people who matter most, residents and their families.
“The Residence at Presque Isle Bay is clean and safe place for my 91-year-old father,” said survey respondent Joe. “However, I visited other facilities that were clean and safe. What sets the Residence at Presque Isle Bay apart is the staff. The staff is professional, friendly and most of all caring. They interact by name with each resident, and they go out of their way to help many times before being asked.”
The Residence at Presque Isle Bay has been recognized by IntegraCare for its efficient callbell response, as the community attained Gold Level status during the final two quarters of 2024. The callbell response time, which was an average 2-minutes, 18-seconds in the fourth quarter last year, made an impression upon Carolyn, whose family member resides in the senior living community.
“The Residence at Presque Isle Bay has a vibrant, young staff who lift the residents up by their enthusiasm, youthful energy and special comments,” Carolyn responded in the survey. “Besides, the awesome staff and atmosphere, the (callbell) watches each resident wear is No. 1 for keeping them ALL SAFE!! The watch can be pressed if something is needed, and the watch will INSTANTLY ALERT staff if someone falls!! The staff closest to the resident who needs attention immediately goes to assist the resident who fell and will begin assessing the situation.”
U.S. News also recognizes outstanding performance in several areas with a High Performing accolade. This recognition is awarded to communities that scored in the top 25% of evaluated communities nationwide for caregiving, activities and enrichment, management and staff, food and “feels like home.”
“Choosing a senior living community is a big life decision for older adults and their loved ones. U.S. News’ Best Senior Living ratings offer families a data-driven search tool, providing transparent and comprehensive assessments of quality,” said Ben Harder, managing editor and chief of health analysis at U.S. News. “We commend the communities that have earned this distinction, reflecting their unwavering dedication to resident well-being and satisfaction.”
