Senior Star is Certified as a Great Place to Work®
Recognized by Our People. Experienced by You.
This recognition has never been about the badge. It’s about the people behind it.
At Senior Star, we are proud to be recognized with the Great Place to Work® Certification, based on feedback from 98% associate participation in our annual survey. This honor reflects a culture where associates feel supported, valued, and inspired in their work. And in senior living, that makes all the difference, because it shapes the experience our residents and families feel every day.
Because when our associates feel cared for, it shows in everything they do, helping us continue to make every day great.
Named to the FORTUNE Best Workplaces in Aging Services™ 2025
For the seventh time in eight years, Senior Star has been named to the FORTUNE Best Workplaces in Aging Services™ list, an honor based entirely on associate feedback. This recognition highlights our commitment to creating one of the best senior living workplaces in the nation, and it matters because happy, supported associates create the best experience for residents and families.
At Senior Star, we believe love is a leadership strategy. Our culture is built on compassion, trust, and connection, and it shows: 94% of families say our teams truly get to know their loved one, and 82% say life here feels like home. That’s why families across Ohio, Missouri, Iowa, and Oklahoma choose Senior Star communities when they’re looking for a senior living option where their loved one will thrive.
Why were we recognized by FORTUNE™? Because associates said Senior Star is a place where they feel valued, connected, and proud to serve. For residents and families, that translates into consistent care, meaningful relationships, and a community that truly feels like home.
