Spring Oak Communities Earn U.S. News & World Report’s 2025 Best Senior Living Awards

April 15, 2025

April 15, 2025

This certification is based entirely on employee feedback collected through an independent survey measuring trust, teamwork, respect, and pride within the workplace. For us, it confirms what we’ve always believed: Spring Oak is more than a workplace — it’s a family.

We’re proud to announce that Spring Oak Senior Living has officially been certified as a 2025 Great Place to Work® — a national recognition that reflects the voices of our team members and the unique culture we’ve built together.

A Culture of Care – For Residents and Staff Alike

At Spring Oak Senior Living, we understand that when our team members feel supported, valued, and respected, that care naturally extends to the residents we serve. That’s why we work hard to cultivate a culture rooted in:

Integrity – doing the right thing, always

Compassion recognizing the individual behind every need

Support – uplifting each other through challenges and celebrations

Family – treating each other with the kindness and understanding we’d want for our own loved ones

Whether it’s a caregiver on the overnight shift, a dining team member preparing a resident’s favorite meal, or a regional leader checking in to offer guidance, every role matters — and every voice is heard.

Spring Oak Senior Living is proud to announce that 7 of our 13 communities have been recognized in the 2025 U.S. News & World Report Best Senior Living Awards.

This national recognition is based on resident and family feedback and highlights the exceptional care and service delivered by our teams each day.

The annual U.S. News Best Senior Living ratings evaluate thousands of communities across the country, awarding “Best” badges and “High Performing” emblems in several categories, including Assisted Living, Independent Living, Memory Care, and Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs).
