What is your company culture like?

Our people are the key to providing quality and caring service. The chief responsibility of management is to help them succeed. Investing in our employees has always been a top priority at Ohio Living, as affirmed by years of consistent accolades. We’ve been named a Great Place to Work™ for five consecutive years, ranked nationally among Fortune Magazine’s Best Workplaces in Aging Services, a recipient of LeadingAge Ohio’s Spotlight Award for Workplace Culture, and a finalist for Columbus CEO 2022 Healthcare Achievement Awards. Less conventional measures, too, reflect Ohio Living’s commitment to employees. The rare, wonderful chemistry that exists between staff, patients, and residents, has created a culture that encourages longevity. We are committed to a healthy and happy workplace partnership for all employees built on trust, credibility, respect, and fairness.

What does it take to be a successful employee at your company?

Dedicated and passionate staff demonstrate our seven core values everyday: care, integrity, customer service, innovation, financial stewardship, leadership and inclusion. Our committed staff are willing to navigate an industry that continues to grow with new challenges every day and meet those obstacles with passion, contribution and an unparalleled mission-focus.

What makes Columbus such a great place to do business?

Columbus is a growing city rich in diversity, resources and countless opportunity. Much like the rest of Ohio, Columbus’ senior population will rapidly increase over the next 35 years with the number of adults 65+ expected to double. These factors combined make it a necessary, yet exciting time to embark on new initiatives in healthcare. Together with community partners, we can optimize aging and address challenges in areas like cognitive health, workforce development and expanding access to care.
