At Cavalier Senior Living, caring for seniors isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are. That commitment has once again been recognized in a big way.
We are proud to share that Cavalier Senior Living has been honored with the 2026 Best of Senior Living Top Provider Award by A Place for Mom, marking our fourth consecutive year receiving this prestigious recognition. Even more meaningful, every senior community that Cavalier Senior Living operates has earned a 2026 Best of Senior Living Award, a testament to the consistent quality of care delivered across all of our senior living communities.
What Makes This Award So Meaningful?
A Place for Mom (APFM) is North America’s leading senior care referral and advisory service, trusted by hundreds of thousands of families each year. Its Best of Senior Living Awards are based entirely on reviews from residents and their families—real people sharing real experiences.
Out of nearly 45,000 senior care providers across the U.S. and Canada, only the top 1–2% receive this honor annually. According to APFM research, families are six times more likely to choose a senior living community with recent, positive reviews, making this recognition especially powerful. It reflects not only excellence in care, but trust, compassion, and meaningful relationships we inspire at our senior communities.
A Team Effort Rooted in Heart
“At Cavalier Senior Living, our mission is to go above and beyond each day to keep our residents safe, healthy, and happy,” said Brad Eisemann, CEO of Cavalier Senior Living. “This recognition is a testament to the dedication of our team members who treat every resident like family.”
From caregivers and nurses to dining teams, activities staff, and leadership, this award belongs to the people who show up every day with empathy, professionalism, and heart.
