Distinctive Living Certified as a Most Loved Workplace
February 17, 2026
Distinctive Living, a leading senior housing management and development platform, has been officially certified as a Most Loved Workplace.®
Backed by the research and analysis of Best Practice Institute (BPI), the certification provides one of the most comprehensive evaluations of workplace sentiment today and is based entirely on employee feedback.
“This recognition means everything to us because it comes directly from our team members,” said Joseph Jedlowski, Chief Executive Officer of Distinctive Healthcare. “At Distinctive, we’ve always believed that our people make us distinctive. We work hard to create a culture where people feel respected, supported, and connected to a larger purpose. Being named a Most Loved Workplace validates that our team truly feels that commitment every day.”
Most Loved Workplaces® certifies organizations where employees are the happiest and most satisfied at work. The certification process evaluates workplace sentiment across industries and regions, identifying organizations that place love for their people at the center of their business model.
Distinctive Living earned the Most Loved Workplace® certification based on its scores on the Love of Workplace Index™, which surveys employees on key elements of workplace experience, including respect, collaboration, leadership support, and sense of belonging. Team members consistently highlighted the organization’s transparent leadership, mission-driven culture, and genuine investment in people as reasons they love working at Distinctive Living.
“Our culture is intentional and deeply rooted in care—not just for our residents, but for one another,” said Kate Wentworth, SVP of People & Culture at Distinctive Living. “We focus on creating an environment where people feel valued, heard, and empowered to grow. This recognition confirms that our team members feel that love, trust, and connection in meaningful ways.”
As Distinctive Living continues to expand nationally, the organization remains committed to fostering a culture that attracts top talent, supports professional growth, and reinforces its belief that strong culture drives exceptional care and performance.
