More Ways to Thrive at Emeritus

All our employees may also participate in our employee and resident referral program. That’s right: where most employee referral programs only reward you for sending qualified candidates (that we ultimately hire) our way, our program is even better. Why? Because you’ll also be rewarded when you refer new residents. The way we see it, you deserve to be compensated for strengthening our family, no matter how you choose to do so.

And once you’ve enrolled in one of our medical plans, you can take advantage of the Better You program, a unique benefit dedicated to improving your health and wellbeing. Through this valuable program, you can get health assessments, keep track of your daily exercise, get health tips, and access other useful tools to help you feel your best. Enrolling in our Better You program also earns you a discount on the cost of your medical premiums and other chances to win prizes. 

Training

We believe in supporting the growth and ongoing development of our employees. We’ve designed effective training and development programs that enhance employee performance that maximize potential for growth. We support internal mobility and want to do all we can to assist you in reaching your career goals—after all, you’re part of our family.

Silverchair Learning Systems

We know how important it is for you to keep current with your continuing education credits; that’s why we’ve teamed up with Silverchair Learning Systems to provide you with the industry’s most effective online training. As an Emeritus employee, you can take advantage of online learning that fits your schedule. Silverchair offers an extensive course library for nurses and administrators—free CEU classes!

Alzheimer’s and Memory Care

As part of our unique approach to treating residents with Alzheimer’s disease or memory loss, Emeritus offers a very special training program called Join Their Journey®. You’ll learn how to get to know each resident and his or her family, and then join those residents in their moment, rather than trying to bring them into our reality. We’ll train you to respond to each individual resident’s needs as if they were our family, by acknowledging their individuality, supporting their choices, and protecting their dignity.

Leadership Training

As part of our commitment to your growth and development, we’ll provide you with opportunities to achieve or enhance your leadership skills. You’ll strengthen your ability to coach, delegate, and communicate—essential skills for your success at Emeritus. If your expertise is in community operations, you can also tap into training on wellness, finance, and sales & marketing.

Additional Opportunities for Executive Directors

If you join our organization at the Executive Director level, you’ll take part in a three-phase orientation program designed to help you master the Emeritus style of managing our unique residential communities. We also offer our Executive Directors extensive mentorship training to help augment your coaching, problem-solving, and leadership skills through practical application.

Proud to Give Back

With our strong focus on family, it’s natural that here at Emeritus, we take great pride in being active members of our greater communities. We’re especially passionate about the kinds of issues that can affect our residents and their families.

Fighting Alzheimer’s Disease

That’s one of the reasons that, every year, we are deeply involved in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, with thousands of our staff walking and raising money towards this critical cause. And every year, we hold a special auction in Seattle to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Association to advance care, support, and research to help end this widespread disease.

Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon and “Better You”

The essay competition was part of a greater initiative, our “Better You” Employee Wellness program, that offers our people the tools, events, and coaches that can help them improve their health.

Leaders of the Future

Together with other executives from Seattle area senior housing companies, Emeritus President and CEO Granger Cobb helped teach the undergraduate Senior Living Management class. He is hoping to raise awareness of the vast opportunities to help seniors for those with advanced degrees in the hospitality area. Students learned about operations, services, lifestyle, dining services, sales & marketing, financials, demographics, and global opportunities in this growing field. 

Military Commitment

The U.S. Military has cultivated some of the very best leaders in our country. We proudly support our troops and want to do all we can to offer transitioning Military Service Members, and their families, a career with our company. Our commitment to hiring the very best team of dedicated and compassionate professionals has brought us to look to our U.S. Military community. Emeritus has committed to hiring 1000 veterans and military spouses over the next 5 years.

Your Job Can Go Where You Go

Emeritus’ network of communities throughout the country provides the opportunity for our military employees to transfer in the cases of reassignment of duty stations, retirement or separation, depending on community and job availability. 

Military Spouses Make A Difference

Military Service Members lead the way in the battlefield, but Military Spouses lead the way on the home front. Emeritus understands the challenge in raising a family, managing a career and maintaining a home – all while sacrificing time away from a loved one serving overseas. With nearly 500 communities, in over 40 states in the U.S.; a military move does not need to affect your career. If you are an Active Duty Military Service Member requiring a change of duty station, you can look for continued employment opportunities at of your nearest Emeritus Senior Living communities.
