CAMP HILL, Pa. – The Woods at Cedar Run earned U.S. News & World Report 2025 Best Senior Living status by achieving the highest possible rating in Assisted Living.
The Woods at Cedar Runs’ Best Assisted Living 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 Woods at Cedar Run. “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.
“It feels like home, but better because I always have someone people around to help me,” said assisted living resident Mary in response to the U.S. News survey. “And they keep me safe.”
“The caregivers at The Woods are terrific. Reception is always warm and caring,” said survey respondent Jennifer, who has a family member residing at The Woods. “I cannot say enough wonderful things about the director and staff of LifeStories/Memory Care. They are devoted, caring, and very responsive to both the resident and resident’s family members.”
Survey respondent Shawn praised the team at The Woods for creating a caring atmosphere and providing activities and events to keep his mother vibrant and engaged.
“The Woods at Cedar Run is a very well-run and safe community environment,” Shawn responded in the survey. “The management and staff are friendly, professional, attentive, caring, and responsive to residents’ needs. It’s a very nice, well-maintained building and indoor/outdoor space. Residents are offered a variety of activities, services and events across a wide range of interests. My mom has been at The Woods for one year and is very happy, overall. Our family has peace of mind knowing she is so well-cared for there. We are grateful.”
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.”
