Brightview Senior Living Earns 2025 PEOPLE Companies That Care Recognition

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 No. 81, demonstrating sustained excellence in employee satisfaction and workplace culture.

The recognition is based on comprehensive employee feedback, with the list derived from over 1.3 million survey responses representing more than 8.4 million employees nationwide. More than 1 million responses specifically came from employees at companies eligible for this year's list, making the selection process highly competitive and data-driven. Companies must be Great Place To Work Certified and employ at least 10 U.S. workers to qualify for consideration.

Doug Dollenberg, President & CEO of Brightview Senior Living, emphasized that the award reflects the extraordinary commitment of the company's associates in creating a culture of warmth, hospitality, respect, and belonging. The selection process involves rigorous evaluation beyond survey data, requiring companies to submit essays that are validated by employee responses to provide a complete picture of how organizations care for their employees, communities, and environmental impact.

Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work, noted that caring for your people and your community isn't something you do after you build a successful business; it's how to make your business successful. This philosophy aligns with research showing that exceptional workplace standards directly correlate with improved resident care quality in senior living environments.

This latest recognition adds to Brightview's growing list of accolades, including being named to the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For 2025 list and receiving recognition as Fortune Best Workplaces in Aging Services 2024. Additionally, several Brightview communities have been honored with Best Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care designations by U.S. News and World Report in 2025.

The consistent recognition across multiple prestigious lists underscores Brightview Senior Living's commitment to maintaining exceptional workplace standards. For HR vendors serving the senior living sector, this recognition highlights the critical connection between employee satisfaction and service quality outcomes. The company's continued improvement in rankings demonstrates that sustained investment in workplace culture yields measurable results in both employee engagement and operational excellence.

Charlotte Triggs, PEOPLE GM and editor-in-chief, commented on the significance of such recognition, stating that these companies' commitment reflects the mission to feature what happens when ordinary people do extraordinary work. This acknowledgment serves as a benchmark for other organizations in the human resources and talent management space, particularly those operating in care-intensive industries where employee dedication directly impacts service quality.
