I cannot tell you how much I love the culture of Leisure Care and what it stands for. You will never come across another company that cares about the people as much as they do. Simply put, Leisure Care attracts terrific people. When you walk into a Leisure Care community, it’s a different feeling from other communities. The comment I hear often is, “Everyone here seems so happy. You can really tell the residents and staff love being here.” There is so much truth to this comment. I enjoy the chatter and laughter throughout the lobby, and I love that employees are smiling and having fun while doing their job. It truly sets us apart.
