Dignity, Data, and the Decisions That Shape Our Later Years

📊 Over 450,000 voices. One powerful message: dignity in aging matters.

I recently had the privilege of interviewing Liz Pearce, Senior Living Product Director at U.S. News & World Report, on The Not Old – Better Show. Liz and her team help families across the country navigate one of life’s biggest transitions: choosing the right senior living community. 🏡

U.S. News’ 2025 Best Senior Living Ratings are more than numbers—they reflect real experiences from residents and their loved ones. Their input shapes how communities are recognized for outstanding care, safety, and compassion. ✨

In our conversation, Liz shares what today’s older adults are truly looking for—not just services, but dignity, trust, and a sense of belonging. She also explains how digital tools are evolving to support families at every step of their decision-making process. 💻👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

One of the most powerful takeaways? “We evaluate communities, not companies,” Liz says. “Because it’s the people—not the brand—that shape the experience.” 👏
