Brightview Senior Living of Baltimore now has 45 sites and more than 4,600 employees.

To run smoothly, Brightview relies on Yardi for customer relationship management, electronic health records, procurement, and maintenance technologies.

Julie Masiello is the SVP of Technology and Marketing. She has observed that, contrary to popular belief, seniors demand access to technology that simplifies their lifestyle and care: “The old way of thinking was that senior living residents wouldn’t be interested in using technology until the baby boomer population ages and begins to move into our communities. But that couldn’t be further from the truth,” says Masiello in an interview with Argentum.

Silverado Senior Living specializes in providing quality of life for those living with memory-impairing diseases as well as palliative and hospice care services. With headquarters in Irvine, Calif, Silverado has more than 2,100 employees at 31 sites.

In response to the Fortune survey, one employee said, “No matter the situation, I know I can count on my administration to always make an ethical choice instead of a business choice. This is what makes it such a great place to work and be proud to serve any client.”

MBK Real Estate was born and raised in Irvine. The organization has expanded to 2,200 employees services 33 communities that offer “quality services with genuine care.” That care is embedded into corporate culture.

“The management team is very engaged with all the employees. If I need anything, whether I have a problem or not, someone has gone above and beyond they are right there to make sure we are all fine and or congratulating us on a job well done,” says a survey respondent.

Continuing Life LLC of Carlsbad, Calif. has over 2,200 employees at six sites throughout the U.S. The organization prides itself on its care methodologies for employees and residents.

On the Fortune survey, one employee responded, “During COVID-19, seeing the company find jobs to have all employees working during hard times was very meaningful and says a lot about the company overall.”

That care translates to residents as well: “Our financial program has saved residents from the impact that rising health care costs and inflation takes on their fixed incomes,” says Warren Spieker, managing partner of Continuing Life in an interview with Business Wire.

Retirement Center Management (RCM) is a sharpshooter from Houston. The organization of 1,900 members sets its sights on “exceptional quality of life and gracious living for residents.” To support its goal, RCM focuses on staff development and training.

Per an employee survey response, “I love the fact that this company provides opportunities for growth and development.”

The Springs Living of Mcminnville, Ore. puts people first. That includes superior care for residents and advancement opportunities for staff. Staff consists of more than 1,600 people at 17 sites.

“I love that they support doing the right thing and are not always concerned with the bottom line. We build relationships, and sometimes that means taking the high road, and I feel they support us all along the way,” reports a satisfied employee.

Senior Star is the brainchild of the Thomas brothers, twins from Tulsa with a passion for bringing small-town friendliness into the expanding senior living industry. Senior Star has nearly 1,200 employees across 16 sites.
