Senior Living Properties, Trilogy Health Services and Legacy Healthcare were among the large skilled nursing providers earning top rankings in this year’s Fortune Best Workplaces for Aging Services lists. 

The annual rankings were announced Friday by Fortune and Great Place to Work. Senior Living Properties and Trilogy were ranked Nos. 3 and 6, respectively, among large seniors housing and care providers. Legacy Health Care was No. 3 among small/medium operators. 

Legacy Healthcare COO Jamie Dlatt said the company has a standard and reputation for innovation, service and clinical sophistication, which would not be possible with its employees’ hard work and dedication.  

“We have all worked together during the past year and combined our strength and tenacity to reassure that our employees felt heard and noticed,” Dlatt said in a statement. 

“Through their feedback, we have implemented policies that benefit and encourage them to grow professionally. All our exceptional employees have shown extraordinary resilience daily,” she added. “They are leaders and givers – the best of us – and so much more. We are beyond grateful for every one of our employees, and we could not do it without them.” 

Other large SNFs that ranked highly included Generations Healthcare (No. 11) and Vetta Senior Living (No. 16). 

Other small/medium SNFs high on that list included Careline Health Group (No. 5), Warm Beach Senior Community (No. 13), Citadel Healthcare (No. 15) and Schnepp Senior Care & Rehab Center (No. 16). 

“The Vetter Senior Living Family is honored by this distinction that affirms our passion to be a world-class organization who is transforming the view of senior living by doing what we do like no one else does it,” Vetta President Glenn Van Ekeren said. “It is living proof that living our mission, vision and values truly makes a difference.”  

The Great Place to Work methodology is based on its trust index employee survey, which has been taken by more than 100 million people worldwide. Average employee trust index scores for SNFs increased to 73 in 2021 (from a 100 point scoring scale). The score was 68 last year.

This year, nearly 228,000 aging services employees were surveyed. Full rankings can be found here.
