The company garnered recognition for its outstanding operational procedures, high levels of customer satisfaction and quality of care provided to residents.
Since its founding in 1985, Tutera Senior Living has established itself as a prominent figure in the senior care and retirement sector. Its progressive approach to resident well-being, alongside its dedication to fostering employee satisfaction, secured Tutera top honors in this year’s award season.
U.S. News & World Report conducted a comprehensive analysis of resident and family feedback to identify the distinguishing factors of these communities. The criteria for the awards encompassed satisfaction with community value, engagement opportunities, safety measures, location advantages, management efficiency and hospitality services.
Senior living communities under the ownership and management of The Tutera Group provide a diverse range of services, many encompassing both assisted living and independent living options within the same community.
Assisted living communities are evaluated based on their provision of accommodations tailored to seniors requiring assistance with daily tasks such as dressing and mobility. Independent living communities cater to seniors seeking to transition away from living alone or the burdens of home maintenance while maintaining their independence.
Benefits of Tutera Senior Living communities include chef-prepared dining services, housekeeping and laundry assistance, social engagement opportunities and additional amenities like wellness centers.
