Celebration Villa of Nittany Valley Named Best Assisted Living

U.S. News & World Report Names Celebration Villa of Nittany Valley Among Best Senior Living Communities for 2026

−Celebration Villa of Nittany Valley has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a 2026 Best Assisted Living Community.

Now in its fifth year, the 2026 Best Senior Living ratings from U.S. News evaluated more than 3,000 communities across the United States. Communities were assessed on several key criteria, including resident and family member satisfaction with safety, care, community management, staff, value and other essential services and amenities.

“Earning Best in Assisted Living from U.S. News & World Report is a meaningful honor for our community. At Celebration Villa of Nittany Valley, we are dedicated to providing compassionate care while creating a vibrant, supportive environment where residents feel connected and at home each day. This recognition reflects the commitment of our team and the engaging lifestyle we strive to provide,” said Ashley Moore, Executive Director of Celebration Villa of Nittany Valley.

U.S. News awards the designation of Best Senior Living only to those communities that meet its objective, data-driven standards, reflecting the feedback of hundreds of thousands of consumers nationwide. The highest-rated communities in each care level earned a Best Senior Living rating.

“Choosing a senior living community is a significant life decision for older adults and their families. U.S. News’ Best Senior Living ratings provide a transparent, data-driven tool to help families identify the highest-quality care available,” said Ben Harder, managing editor and chief of health analysis at U.S. News. “We commend the communities that have earned this distinction, which reflects a deep commitment to resident well-being and exceptional service.”

While the Best Senior Living ratings offer a starting point for families, U.S. News encourages prospective residents, when appropriate, to consult with their health care providers or care teams to ensure a community’s specific services align with their individual clinical and wellness needs.
