50 Years of Making a Difference, One Moment at a Time: Senior Star Marks Milestone Year with FORTUNE Workplace Recognition
As Senior Star celebrates its 50th anniversary, the company introduces Moment Makers, a new name for a legacy built through Love in Action and Excellence You Can Feel.
TULSA, Okla., October 15, 2026 – For 50 years, Senior Star has been shaped by people who make a difference through the moments they create.
A remembered coffee, two sugars. A conversation that lasts a little longer. A promise kept. A laugh shared. A colleague who steps in without being asked. A person who notices when something just isn’t quite right.
As Senior Star celebrates its 50th anniversary, the company is giving that legacy a new name: Moment Makers.
And during this milestone year, the workplace those people have built has received national recognition. Senior Star has been named a FORTUNE Best Workplace in Aging Services™ 2026.
For Senior Star, the timing brings together a 50-year legacy and the next chapter of its story.
A LEGACY OF MOMENT MAKERS.
Moment Makers put LOVE IN ACTION.
Love in Action creates EXCELLENCE YOU CAN FEEL.
And FORTUNE independently recognized the workplace culture behind it.
“As CEO of Senior Star at this milestone, I’m deeply humbled because this company has always been about people,” said Anja Rogers, CEO. “Our culture is our values in action. Its heartbeat lives in each associate – in how we serve one another, our seniors and their families, and in the personalized moments that help people feel known, valued and cared for.”
Senior Star has long celebrated its associates as Difference Makers, reflecting the impact they have on residents, families, one another and the communities they serve. As the company looks toward its next 50 years, Moment Makers gives that legacy a new expression, one rooted in how those differences are actually made.
Through moments.
“This FORTUNE recognition is meaningful because it reflects the culture our associates create every day,” Rogers said. “As we look to our next 50 years, Moment Makers gives us a way to name and celebrate that service, one meaningful moment at a time.”
Those moments are at the center of Senior Star’s 50th anniversary theme, A Legacy of Moment Makers, celebrating the associates, residents, families, and leaders whose contributions have shaped the organization across generations.
They are also at the heart of Senior Star’s Love in Action. Excellence You Can Feel. campaign.
Love in Action is rooted in Senior Star’s longstanding promise to “Do for each other with love.” It reflects the belief that the way people are treated shapes the way they show up for one another, and that when love is paired with a commitment to learn, improve, and continually raise the standard, the result becomes something others can experience.
For Senior Star, workplace culture isn’t something that exists only behind the scenes.
It can be felt in the associate who remembers what makes a resident laugh. The familiar face who notices someone hasn’t stopped by their usual spot. The thoughtful update that gives a family confidence. The follow-through that earns a professional partner’s trust. And the colleague who helps another associate through a difficult day.
Those moments are also why Senior Star believes workplace recognition matters beyond the workplace itself.
When associates feel valued, supported, challenged to grow and connected to purpose, that experience carries forward into the relationships they build and the way they show up for others.

Throughout its 50th anniversary year, Senior Star has invited associates, residents and families to help capture the people and moments that have shaped its story. Those Moment Maker stories will continue to be celebrated across Senior Star communities and through the company’s Love in Action campaign.
Because while the language may evolve and recognition may come and go, Senior Star believes the way a difference is made has remained remarkably consistent for 50 years:
One person.
One relationship.
One meaningful moment at a time.
A Legacy of Moment Makers.
Love in Action.
Excellence You Can Feel.
FORTUNE is the recognition.
Our Moment Makers are the reason.
