Brightview Senior Living Lands on Fortune Media and Great Place To Work® 2025 Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® List

Brightview places top 100 for the third time, embodying 'great place to work, great place to live' mantra

BALTIMORE, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Brightview Senior Living, a Baltimore-based senior living developer, owner and operator with nearly 50 communities along the East Coast, is pleased to share its inclusion on the annual Great Place To Work® and Fortune magazine's 2025 Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® list. For the third time, Brightview earned a spot on the prestigious list that ranks companies across all industries, representing the only senior living company on the list. Ranking nationally, this recognition proves that Brightview has surpassed rigorous benchmarks, establishing itself as one of the best places to work in the country.

The 100 Best Companies to Work For® list honors companies that build a high-trust workplace environment, measured through Great Place To Work's proprietary survey platform. Confidential feedback from more than 1.3 million employees in the U.S. is matched against HR data from participating companies. Only companies with consistently high survey responses across the 60 statements that comprise the Trust Index™ Survey are honored with placement on the list.

"Brightview is successful because our incredible associates bring their passion and dedication to work every day. Long before we grew to nearly 50 communities, we recognized that to be a great place to live for our residents, we had to first prioritize employee engagement and wellness. Together, with our residents and their families, we continue to achieve amazing things," said Brightview Senior Living President and CEO Doug Dollenberg, Jr. "This honor celebrates the work of every one of our 6,000-plus associates and reinforces the benefits of Brightview's associate-focused culture. We are thrilled to celebrate this significant achievement, which is not only a milestone for Brightview but also a positive reflection on the senior living industry as a whole. Senior living remains strong, and our work is vital—this accolade reinforces that."

The Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® List is highly competitive. Companies are only considered for the list if they are a Great Place to Work Certified™ organization with 1,000 or more employees in the U.S. Companies are assessed on their ability to create a great employee experience that cuts across job level, business unit, race, gender, age, disability status, or any aspect of employee identity. Earning a spot on the list is an important indicator of overall company performance. Companies on the 100 Best list consistently outperform the market and exceed their competitors on key business measures like retention and innovation.

"Leaders are the reason a business succeeds or fails," says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. "In the more than 30 years we've studied the workplace, our data proves that how you treat people shows up in your financial performance. When you measure trust, you uncover the potential that exists in an organization. Employees at companies on this list have higher levels of trust in their leaders and in their organization, unlocking their creativity, passion, and resilience."

Brightview is honored to have received numerous accolades celebrating its company culture. The senior living company has been recognized as the No. 1 Best Workplace in Aging Services for four consecutive years by Great Place to Work and Fortune. It also earned a spot on Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For list in 2021 and 2023. Brightview communities have also been honored on U.S. News and World Report's Best Independent Living, Best Assisted Living, and Best Memory Care lists since 2023.
