Stoneridge Creek Earns Spot in Newsweek's Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities List

Stoneridge Creek has been named one of America’s Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC) for 2026 by Newsweek in partnership with Statista. This honor places our community in the top tier of just 330 communities nationwide and among a select few in the Bay Area where senior living options are highly competitive.

The Newsweek rankings are based on a rigorous methodology conducted by Statista that evaluates CCRCs nationwide across four key pillars: reputation, visitor satisfaction, accreditation, and online reviews. Feedback from residents, families, and industry professionals played a critical role in determining this year’s honorees.

For older adults and their families, this recognition offers more than prestige; it provides reassurance.

“This recognition speaks to the genuine sense of belonging our residents create every day at Stoneridge Creek,” said Executive Director Ezekiel Griffin. “Our community isn’t just a place to live; it’s a place where people form meaningful connections and friendships, stay engaged, and support each other. Being honored on a national level highlights the culture our residents and team have built together over the past 13 years.”

As a Life Plan community, residents have convenient priority access to long-term care at the adjacent health center, Creekview Health Center, if ever needed. For many families, that peace of mind is one of the most valuable aspects of choosing a CCRC like Stoneridge Creek.

Located on 50 acres of manicured grounds with Spanish architecture in Pleasanton, California, Stoneridge Creek is an ideal setting for seniors and their families. The retirement community is just a short drive to Stoneridge Shopping Center, Castle Ridge Trail, and Downtown Pleasanton with popular entertainment, dining, and theaters. On-site, residents enjoy more than 200 life enrichment activities, cultural programs, and restaurant-style dining at three distinct dining venues. The community is also at the forefront of fitness training for seniors through the My Vitality Programming.

“Being recognized among the nation’s top CCRCs is an honor, but what matters most is the everyday experiences our residents create together,” said Griffin. “At Stoneridge Creek, connection, well-being, and purpose define daily life.”
