Senior living organizations’ successes in addressing the industry’s top challenge — recruiting and retaining employees — were the center of attention Thursday as Great Place to Work and Fortune Magazine released their lists of Best Workplaces for Aging Services for 2019.
Almost two-thirds (64%) of respondents to a recent survey who were aged 60 or more years said they would rather live in an assisted living community than be cared for by their adult children should their day-to-day lives “become too difficult.”
Brightview Senior Living and Embrace Living Communities top Fortune’s list of Best Workplaces for Aging Services for 2019, Fortune and Great Place to Work announced this morning. Brightview tops the list for large organizations, and Embrace tops the list for small and medium-sized organizations. A list of the top 10 at-home care providers also was released.
