Recognized by Our People. Experienced by You. Making Every Day Great.
Tulsa, OK, April 29, 2026: It’s never been about the badge. It’s about the people behind it.
That’s why Senior Star’s ninth consecutive Great Place to Work® Certification means something more. Based entirely on associate feedback, this recognition reflects a culture where people feel valued, supported, and connected to purpose, and where that care is felt in every resident engagement.
In senior living, workplace culture doesn’t stay behind the scenes. That culture shows up in ways that go far beyond the data. It’s reflected in the everyday moments that define a resident’s experience and adds to their happiness, from the associate who remembers a morning routine to the team member who stays a few extra minutes because they know it matters.
That experience is echoed consistently across associate feedback:
• 80% say Senior Star is a Great Place to Work (vs. 57% at the average U.S. workplace)
And specifically, across the Senior Living industry feedback:
• 88% of Senior Star say their work has special meaning (above GPTW Ntl. Avg. of 87%)
• 87% feel good about how Senior Star contributes to the community (above GPTW Ntl. Avg. 83%)
• 87% say they felt welcomed when they joined Senior Star (above GPTW Ntl. Avg. 85%)
• 88% say they feel they make a difference in their role at Senior Star (above GPTW Ntl. Avg. 86%)
“To be recognized by our associates in this way is incredibly meaningful because it reflects how we show up for each other every day,” said Anja Rogers, CEO of Senior Star. “When people feel supported, respected, and connected to what they do, it naturally carries into how they care for our residents and families. That’s what makes this recognition so important to us.”
That level of engagement is reflected in the survey itself, with 98% of associates participating in and sharing their voice across Senior Star communities.
“One of the most powerful parts of this recognition is the level of participation,” said Taylor Hernandez, Chief Strategy Officer at Senior Star. “When ninety eight percent of our associates share their voice, it gives us a clear and honest view of our culture. We know how our associates feel because they’ve told us through the survey.”
At Senior Star, the belief is simple: when associates feel cared for, respected, and inspired, it shows in every interaction, every moment, and every experience.
