We have two reasons to celebrate at Aviva Baldwin Park. Our Staunton community has earned recognition for both Best Assisted Living and Best Memory Care in the 2026 U.S. News & World Report Best Senior Living ratings.
These honors recognize two distinct areas of support within our community. They also give us an opportunity to thank the residents, families, and team members who contribute to life at Baldwin Park.
Here in the Shenandoah Valley, we’re proud to provide a place where older adults can receive personalized assistance, build friendships, and feel at home.

Two Recognitions Rooted in Resident and Family Feedback
The U.S. News Best Senior Living ratings draw on satisfaction surveys from residents and their families. The feedback covers important parts of community life, including caregiving, dining, activities, management, and staff.
Those perspectives help families learn about communities through the people who know them firsthand.
For Baldwin Park, recognition in both assisted living and memory care is especially meaningful because these services meet different needs. A person seeking help with daily activities may have different priorities from a family looking for specialized dementia support.
In both settings, listening to residents and understanding their individual preferences remain central to our approach.
Assisted Living That Supports Personal Choice
Needing help with everyday tasks doesn’t change someone’s desire to make decisions about their own life.
Our assisted living services provide personalized assistance with daily activities and medication management. Residents also have access to chef-prepared meals, social activities, and comfortable apartments with individually controlled thermostats.
We want to understand what makes a day feel comfortable for each person. That includes where assistance would be helpful, which routines they prefer to keep, and how they enjoy spending their time.
For someone considering assisted living in Staunton, those details can be just as important as the apartment itself.
Memory Care With Opportunities for Connection
Families looking for memory care often want to know how their loved one will be supported as an individual. Their interests, personality, and life history still deserve attention as care needs change.
At Aviva Baldwin Park, our memory care neighborhood offers JOURNEY-based programming seven days a week. Activities incorporate music, art, movement, gardening, spiritual services, and sensory engagement, with an emphasis on meeting residents where they are.
Our team welcomes families’ insight into the preferences and familiar routines that may help their loved one feel comfortable.
If you’re comparing care options, we can explain the differences between our assisted living and memory care programs and discuss the support available in each.
A Peaceful Setting in Staunton
Baldwin Park’s established grounds are part of what gives our community its character. Mature landscaping, outdoor walking paths, and a park-like setting provide inviting places to spend time outside.
Inside, private apartments feature kitchenettes, oversized windows, and space for personal belongings. Housekeeping, laundry, and scheduled transportation to medical appointments help with practical responsibilities, while shared meals and social programs offer opportunities to get to know neighbors.
For families in Staunton and nearby communities such as Waynesboro, Fishersville, and Verona, a visit offers the chance to see these spaces and talk about what daily life could look like for their loved one.
Thank You for Making Baldwin Park Home
We’re grateful to our residents for the friendships, conversations, and personalities they bring to our community. Thank you for helping make Baldwin Park a welcoming place for others.
To our families, thank you for staying involved, sharing your perspective, and trusting us to support someone you love.
And to our team members, thank you for your work across assisted living and memory care. Personal care, dining, housekeeping, activities, and maintenance all contribute to a resident’s day. We appreciate the attention you bring to those responsibilities and the relationships you build along the way.
We’re happy to share these two recognitions with you.
