Rankings are based on associates’ experiences, no matter who they are or what role they have at Juniper.
“We simply could not accomplish what we do without our wonderful associates at Juniper,” said Lynne Katzmann, founder and CEO of Juniper Communities. “It is truly meaningful to know that our team believes so strongly that we are a Great Place to Work. We have worked hard to meet their needs by providing them the ability to earn a living wage, further their education [and have] wellness opportunities and onsite medical care at most communities—just like the residents we serve. Our culture continues to nurture the spirit of life for our residents and associates, and doing well by doing good motivates each of us every day. All of this makes a real difference in associate engagement and retention; we are honored to receive repeat recognition as a Great Place to Work.”
