At Five Star Senior Living, our motto is “Expect the Best”. Our residents and patients expect the best in service, care and amenities – and our employees expect the best in career opportunity and growth.
Five Star offers the advantages of both a large and small company. With more than 21,000 employees coast to coast, we are a prominent – and growing company. Yet each senior living community and rehabilitation center also maintains its own individual presence, which helps preserve that friendly, “small-company” feeling.
In other words, at Five Star, you’ll be a valuable member of a large team with a strong support system – plus you’ll have opportunities to be recognized for your individual contributions. Most importantly, you’ll be doing something worthwhile every day; helping create a safe, healthy and happy lifestyle for seniors from all walks of life.
