25 Best Independent Senior Living Homes In CA: U.S. News Experts reviewed over 3,500 communities to find the best independent living, assisted living, memory care, and continuing care. CALIFORNIA — A total of 38 out of 381 Independent Senior Living Communities were identified as "the best" places for your loved ones to begin their sunset years in California, according to a recent U.S. News & World Report study. This is the third year that U.S. News has compiled a comprehensive guide to identify top-rated senior living communities, including the best independent living, memory care, assisted living, and continuing care retirement communities. Independent Senior Living Communities are designed for 55-year-old and older residents with no special medical needs. Frequently, the facilities include local transportation, yard work, social activities, group meals, and more. According to the study, unlike nursing homes, Medicare typically does not cover these communities.
