AUBURN — SeniorAdvisor.com recently released its Best of 2016 Awards and Schooner Estates Senior Living in Auburn was one of the few to make the list.

The Best of Senior Living Award is based on the ratings of residents and their loved ones. The many ratings provide SeniorAdvisor.com with a lot of data on what people think. That data is used each year to help seniors and caregivers find a good assisted living home. To identify the best, the list is narrowed to just those that have earned at least a 4.5-star rating out of 5 from reviewers.

About 1 percent of the nation’s senior living facilities make the cut.
