Christian Living Communities is a local not-for-profit senior living organization that provides residential living and a full continuum of care for seniors in the south Denver area. It operates three communities and also offers Home Care and Adult Day Services, focusing on delivering high-quality care and services to residents and clients. The way its offerings work is by combining housing with a range of care options—independent living, supported living, and day and in-home services—delivered by staff to meet residents’ changing needs. The organization differentiates itself from competitors by its not-for-profit status, local community focus, and integrated continuum of care across multiple sites, rather than solely providing housing. Its goal is to ensure seniors receive exceptional services and care that support their independence and quality of life over time.

CLC earns World's Best Culture Certification for the fourth consecutive year.

CLC earns World's Best Culture Certification for the fourth consecutive year. For the fourth consecutive year, Christian Living Communities (CLC) has earned the World's Best Culture Certification from Drive. CLC's exceptional workplace culture is the result of team members bringing their unique gifts, talents, and perspectives to its communities every day. Christian Living Communities is honored to be recognized for the supportive, values-driven environment Christian Living Communities has built together. Earning the World's Best Culture designation for the fourth consecutive year is an incredible honor, but what means even more is what it represents. Its team members once again affirmed that the heart of CLC is rooted in the values of caring, accountability, compassion, teamwork, and continuous learning. What makes this recognition especially meaningful is that it reflects the way Christian Living Communities strive to live out its CLC Citizenship Model(R) every day by creating communities where every person is valued, empowered, and connected to purpose. This award is far more than a designation. It is a reflection of the shared commitment, deep relationships, and mission-driven spirit that make CLC such a special place to live and work." - Jill Vitale-Aussem, President & CEO What is The World's Best Culture Certification? The World's Best Culture Certification recognizes aging services organizations that have created exceptional workplace cultures. The certification is determined through the Culture Values Assessment developed by Barrett Values Centre, a globally recognized tool used to measure organizational culture and values alignment. Drive Culture Outcomes, a consulting firm specializing in culture within aging services, is a leading user of this assessment. Organizations such as Mastercard, Coca-Cola, Prudential, and Volvo have also utilized the assessment to better understand and strengthen their workplace environments. With more than 25 years of data and four million assessments in its database, Barrett Values Centre provides a trusted benchmark for measuring organizational culture. How do team members help shape CLC's culture? The Culture Values Assessment gives team members across CLC communities, services, and support teams an opportunity to share their personal values, the organization's current values, and the values they would like to see reflected in their ideal workplace. This year, 757 team members participated in the assessment. Their feedback helped identify organizational strengths, opportunities for growth, and the values that define the CLC experience. The results revealed that the top current culture values at CLC continue to be caring, accountability, compassion, teamwork, and continuous learning. These values reflect its commitment to fostering a supportive and collaborative environment grounded in CLC's Citizenship Model(R) of Community Living. By prioritizing these values, Christian Living Communities help ensure that team members feel supported in their work, connected to a shared purpose, and empowered to make a meaningful difference in the lives of residents and one another. What Culture Score did CLC earn? To receive World's Best Culture Certification, organizations must achieve a minimum score of 70 on the Culture Values Assessment. This year, CLC earned an outstanding culture score of 90, significantly exceeding the certification benchmark and reflecting a strong alignment between organizational values and everyday experiences. For additional perspective: * Global average culture score: 55 * Drive Culture Outcomes average culture score: 70 * CLC culture score: 90 This achievement not only distinguishes CLC within the aging services field but also demonstrates its ongoing commitment to creating an environment where people feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive. Being recognized as one of the world's best cultures is incredibly meaningful to Christian Living Communities. At CLC, Christian Living Communities know that resident well-being is closely connected to consistent, relationship-based interactions with team members who embody its values every day. This certification reinforces its commitment to creating exceptional places to live, work, and serve. Christian Living Communities is also proud to share that several CLC communities and services earned World's Best Culture Certification this year, reflecting a shared commitment to workplace excellence across the organization. | Community | World's Best Culture Score | | Cappella of Grand Junction | 80 | | Clermont Park | 88 | | Dayspring Villa | 71 | | Holly Creek | 89 | | Rhythms Home Care | 89 | | Someren Glen | 87 | | Sunny Vista | 83 | | CLC Overall | 90 | Why does workplace culture matter? A strong workplace culture impacts more than employee satisfaction. When team members feel connected to their work, aligned with organizational values, and supported by their colleagues, they are better equipped to build meaningful relationships and provide exceptional service. At CLC, culture serves as the foundation for how Christian Living Communities care for residents, support one another, and create communities where people can flourish. I have had the privilege of partnering with Christian Living Communities for many years, and what they have built is nothing short of extraordinary. Earning the World's Best Culture is the result of leaders who show up every single day committed to their people. CLC is, without question, one of the finest organizations in senior living, and this recognition reflects exactly who they are." - Denise Boudreau, Founder & President of Drive Living its values every day. While Christian Living Communities is proud of this achievement, Christian Living Communities remain committed to listening, learning, and strengthening the culture that makes CLC such a special organization. This recognition reflects the dedication of its team members, residents, families, volunteers, and community partners who help bring its mission and values to life each day.
