A testament to years of dedication and innovation, Moorings Park has solidified its place among the nation's elite by securing the coveted fourth position in Newsweek's esteemed ranking of America's Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC) of 2025. Climbing four spots since the beginning of 2024, this extraordinary achievement reflects the organization’s unwavering focus on resident satisfaction and its pursuit of excellence in luxury senior living.

National Senior Living Leaders

Newsweek’s ranking of Moorings Park Communities is based on three data sources: national online surveys, a quality dimension score based on ratings of accommodations, commercial and community services, financial factors, food, safety, staffing, overall quality of care, and whether or not Moorings Park has been recognized by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). Based on this data, Moorings Park ranked as the number one CCRC in Southwest Florida and the fourth best in America out of thousands of communities.

Further solidifying its place as a senior living and wellness leader in America, all three Moorings Park communities have won the 2024 International Council on Active Aging® (ICAA) NuStep Beacon Award for “Best in Wellness,” an award only given to the top 25 senior living communities in North America. Moorings Park and Moorings Park at Grey Oaks additionally earned the coveted Pinnacle Award for “Best in Wellness,” an acknowledgment of the top five communities in the same category.

These accolades reflect leadership when it comes to wellness and luxury senior living. However, the profound thought and intention behind Moorings Park Communities’ mission of successful aging goes deeper than any award or ranking can truly reflect.

Successful Aging and Luxury Living: What It Takes To Be Among America’s Best

The secret to Moorings Park Communities’ success is successful aging. More than just a concept, successful aging is a lifestyle that is fully integrated, encouraged, and supported at every level across each Naples-based neighborhood. Whether through the thoughtful design, state-of-the-art amenities, innovative spaces, or the many intangible values of residency, successful aging is the driving force behind why Moorings Park Communities is an industry leader when it comes to senior living.

An Award-Winning Continuum of Care

As Life Plan Communities, Moorings Park Communities offers an award-winning continuum of care to its residents. Residents in a Life Plan Community enjoy an active, independent lifestyle with the comfort of knowing that quality healthcare is available, like assisted living with memory support, with no change in their monthly service fees should the needs arise.

According to the Age Well Study, designed by Mather Institute in collaboration with Northwestern University, residents of Life Plan Communities, like Moorings Park Communities, report and exhibit greater wellness, maintain higher levels of life satisfaction, exhibit greater social wellness, report better self-rated memory, and feel a greater purpose in life compared to non-residents.

“[Senior living] residents are extremely healthy, and the Age Well Study reinforces that a Life Plan Community is a really positive environment with a lot of wellness opportunities across the board,” said Mary Leary, President and CEO of Mather.

Unparalleled Design and Amenities

When it comes to community amenities and residences, Moorings Park Communities is a trend-setter that works with some of the most acclaimed, award-winning designers and home builders in Southwest Florida, including London Bay Development Group and Wegman Design Group (WDG). Each community features a unique set of luxurious amenities, activities, restaurants, and programs designed to enrich the mind, body, and spirit.

“Moorings Park Communities is a world-class organization. That gives us a lot of opportunities for high-quality, exciting, award-winning projects. This is the best of the best,” says Lori Wegman, President of WDG. “The most fun part of my job is having the opportunity of doing something new and fresh. Moorings Park Communities is always seeking to do the best. They’re always very excited to see the newest and latest designs, especially if they offer a heightened resident experience. They want us to push the envelope. It’s very fun.”

Each of Moorings Park Communities’ three locations are set across some of Naples’ most premium and sought-after real estate. Moorings Park boasts the largest campus, with 83-acres of pristine garden-covered grounds overlooking lakes and the neighboring Country Club of Naples golf course. With so much space to explore, this neighborhood is ideal for nature lovers and gardeners, as well as people who enjoy talking long walks and discovering blooming plants and visiting wildlife along the way.

With a close partnership with Grey Oaks Country Club (GOCC) that provides residents with a GOCC membership, Moorings Park at Grey Oaks was designed for the golf lover. With a host of amenities found just across the street, along with their own state-of-the-art amenities, it’s so easy to enjoy the best of both worlds: a luxurious, Mediterranean-inspired lifestyle paired with country club comforts.

Moorings Park Grande Lake, with its remarkable clubhouse designed for connection, attracts accomplished boomers and seniors who desire lakefront living. Now, Moorings Park Grande Lake has partnered with London Bay to create yet another stunning Naples residence: Eagleview.
