Lorien Assisted Living has been named the 'Top Winner' in two categories of the Daily Record's 2025 Reader Rankings Survey, marking the fifth consecutive year the family-owned company has received this recognition. The Maryland-based organization was honored as 'Best Assisted Living' and 'Best Retirement Community' in the state, reflecting its ongoing commitment to quality care and community engagement.
'The results of the Daily Record's Reader Rankings survey highlight our steadfast commitment to our residents, their families, and to the positive growth of Lorien Assisted Living,' said Lou Grimmel Sr., Chief Executive Officer of Lorien Health Services. The recognition coincides with the opening of Harmony Park, an innovative memory care neighborhood in Howard County that brings outdoor elements indoors to create a calming, park-like environment for residents with dementia.
John Mangione Jr., Chief Operating Officer of Lorien Health Services, emphasized the significance of the recognition, stating, 'We are proud to be recognized by Marylanders as a leader in delivering high-quality healthcare services. Our focus on personalized care and innovation motivates us to continually improve the well-being of those we serve.' The Daily Record Reader Rankings process involves nomination and voting rounds, culminating in an annual celebration where top winners are revealed, with this year's event scheduled for October 20.
Beyond memory care, Lorien Assisted Living communities across Maryland provide specialized services including on-site dialysis, Parkinson's care, Korean senior care, and residential home care services through Lorien at Home, with additional services planned for 2026. The consistent recognition over five years demonstrates Lorien's sustained excellence in a competitive healthcare landscape, particularly important as Maryland's aging population continues to grow and require specialized care options.
The Daily Record, with 134 years of editorial excellence, is part of BridgeTower Media, one of the country's leading business-to-business media companies. Their Reader Rankings program celebrates Maryland's top businesses and services through community nominations and voting, making Lorien's repeated success particularly noteworthy in reflecting public confidence and satisfaction with their care services.
