Brightview Senior Living Recognized Among 2025 PEOPLE Companies That Care
Brightview Senior Living's third consecutive inclusion on the prestigious PEOPLE Companies That Care list highlights its exceptional workplace culture and employee satisfaction, which directly impacts the quality of care for senior residents.
Brightview Senior Living has been honored as one of the 2025 PEOPLE Companies that Care by Great Place To Work and PEOPLE magazine, marking the company's third appearance on this prestigious list. The senior living provider climbed to No. 77, improving four positions from its previous ranking of 81, demonstrating sustained excellence in employee satisfaction and workplace culture.
The recognition is based on comprehensive employee feedback, with the list drawing from over 1.3 million survey responses representing the experiences of more than 8.4 million employees across certified organizations. More than 1 million responses specifically came from employees at companies eligible for this year's list, making the ranking a robust measure of organizational culture and employee experience.
Doug Dollenberg, President & CEO of Brightview Senior Living, emphasized that the award reflects the extraordinary commitment of associates who create a culture of warmth, hospitality, respect, and belonging for both colleagues and residents. The company's selection process involved rigorous evaluation, including employee survey data validation and detailed essays that provide a complete picture of how organizations care for their employees, communities, and environmental impact.
According to Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work, businesses serve as vital pillars in their communities, and caring for people and communities is fundamental to business success rather than an afterthought. The selection criteria for the Companies that Care list focus on comprehensive workplace experience surveys that measure how well organizations support employees, families, and their broader communities.
Charlotte Triggs, PEOPLE GM and editor-in-chief, noted that the innovative spirit demonstrated by these companies in investing in their employees, communities, and the world reflects PEOPLE's mission to feature ordinary people doing extraordinary work. This recognition follows several other recent accolades for Brightview, including being named to the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For 2025 list and receiving recognition from U.S. News and World Report for Best Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care services.
The significance of this recognition extends beyond workplace awards, as employee satisfaction in senior living facilities directly correlates with quality of care for residents. Companies must be Great Place To Work Certified and employ at least 10 U.S. workers to qualify for consideration, ensuring that the list represents organizations of meaningful size and impact. The comprehensive evaluation process, detailed at greatplacetowork.com, includes 60 employee experience questions within the Great Place To Work Trust Index Survey, providing a multidimensional view of workplace quality and organizational culture.
