Brightview Senior Living's people-first business strategy drives employee satisfaction, national recognition. August 13, 2026 Brightview Senior Living is crediting its people-first strategy for propelling it to recognition on the 2026 People Companies that Care list. The accomplishment marks the organization's fourth time reaching the achievement, and each time it has been the only senior living company on the list. This year, the company cracked the top 50, moving into 49th place from last year's 77th-place position. The Baltimore-based builder, owner and operator of senior living communities across eight East Coast states - Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia - also made the list in 2021 and 2022, ranking at No. 75 and No. 81, respectively. According to Great Place to Work, the company has 6,468 US-based employees. "Our people are the product we offer. The exceptional experience our residents receive starts with associates who know they are valued and cared for," Brightview President and CEO Doug Dollenberg told McKnight's Senior Living. "We are committed to supporting the whole person and helping every individual thrive both professionally and personally. We believe that when people feel seen, appreciated and empowered, they do their best work, and that's what makes Brightview a great place to work and a great place to live." 25-year strategy. Putting employees first is a business strategy that has guided the company for more than 25 years, he said. Brightview stands apart, according to the firm, by intentionally creating opportunities for leaders to build meaningful relationships with their teams through executive director/associate check-ins, ongoing coaching conversations, town halls and open feedback channels that aim to ensure that employees feel heard, respected and included. BADGE (Brightview Associate Development, Growth & Engagement) and the organization's Leadership Development Program with University of Maryland, Baltimore County, provide pathways for employees to learn new skills, broaden their experience and advance their careers within the organization, according to Brightview. Those efforts, in turn, have helped foster a culture where people feel welcomed, connected and invested in the future of Brightview, the company said. Brightview said it maintains that people perform their best when they have stability and support in all aspects of their lives; therefore, the company offers workers programs focused on financial well-being, personal growth and the family. They can participate in Brightview Financial Fitness powered by Truist Momentum, take advantage of free language-learning resources through Mango and, when unexpected hardships arise, receive assistance through the Brightview Associate Emergency Fund.
