Brightview Senior Living Named to Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® List for Fourth Time, Jumps to No. 22 in 2026

Recognition by Great Place To Work® and Fortune highlights Brightview's ongoing commitment to a people-first culture, exceptional workplace experience

BALTIMORE, April 1, 2026 /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 2026 Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® list. Placing in the top 25 is an exciting milestone and a true reflection of Brightview's ongoing commitment to listening and acting on associate feedback – as well as its dedication to being an exceptional place to work.

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 earn placement on this exclusive list.

"We're honored to be recognized for the fourth time as one of the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For®, because it affirms that our associates truly believe in what we're building together at Brightview," said Doug Dollenberg, Jr., President and CEO of Brightview Senior Living. "When our teams feel valued and take pride in their work, they create the kind of care and connection that helps our residents live their best lives every day. We are extremely proud of our team for building a workplace rooted in kindness, hospitality, hard work, and serving others."

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.

"Trust in the organization is a leading indicator of business performance," says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. "When employees trust their leaders, they are more willing to give extra effort, embrace innovation like new AI tools, and deliver a better experience to customers. The companies on this list know that trust is a competitive edge — one that can't be stolen or mimicked by competitors or replaced by machines. In the face of market uncertainty, the data proves that high-trust workplaces see faster growth and higher returns."

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 in 2025, and #2 in 2023 and 2024 respectively, by Great Place to Work and Fortune. It also earned a spot on Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For list in 2021, 2023, and 2025. 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.
