Great Place To Work® and PEOPLE magazine have honored Brightview Senior Living as one of the 2026 PEOPLE® Companies that Care. This is Brightview’s fourth time being named to this prestigious list, this year coming in at No.49. Earning a spot means that Brightview Senior Living has surpassed rigorous benchmarks, establishing itself as one of the best companies to work for in the country.

The PEOPLE Companies that Care list is based on over 1.3 million employee survey responses and data from companies representing the experience of more than 7.3 million employees in the U.S. Of those surveys, nearly 970,000 responses came from employees at companies eligible for this year’s list, and these rankings are based on that feedback.

“Our associates often tell us that the care they experience at Brightview feels genuine, that people are the priority, and our commitment is demonstrated through actions, not just words,” said Doug Dollenberg, President & CEO of Brightview Senior Living. “They believe in that culture and choose to bring it to life every day through their relationships with residents, families, teammates, and the communities we serve. This recognition is a reflection of their compassion, commitment, and extraordinary care.”

Companies also submit essays that are validated by employee survey data to give a complete picture of the way an organization cares for its employees, its community, and the planet. To be considered for the list, companies must be Great Place To Work Certified™ and have at least 10 U.S. employees.

The Companies that Care list is highly competitive. Survey responses reflect a comprehensive picture of the workplace experience. Honorees were selected based on their ability to care for employees, families, and the communities where they operate.

“Employees are under immense pressure, and the best workplaces are finding ways to support them in the ways they need,” says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. “When employees feel that sense of care, they do incredible things — delivering the crucial results that grow businesses and build new markets.”

"We're proud to celebrate companies that lead with purpose by supporting their employees, strengthening their communities, and driving positive change. Their commitment to positive

impact reflects PEOPLE's longstanding mission to celebrate stories of inspiring people whose actions create lasting impact,” said Charlotte Triggs, PEOPLE Editor in Chief.

This award follows Brightview’s recent accolades, including: Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® in 2025 and 2026; Best Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care by U.S. News and World Report (various communities) 2026, and ranking #1 on the Fortune Best Workplaces in Aging Services™ in 2025.
