Based in Seattle, Washington, Leisure Care was founded in 1976 and is one of the nation’s largest privately held retirement and assisted living companies. We own, manage, develop, and consult in all facets of the senior living business. Since our founding, Leisure Care has challenged the definition of senior living. We are leaders in science-based wellness programs and continue to innovate in areas that allow our residents to engage in the world around them through cultural, travel, and philanthropic opportunities. Leisure Care knows that today’s older adults aren’t wrapping up their life’s journey; they’re seeking a new one. For nearly 50 years, we’ve been reimagining and reinventing senior living so that older adults and those who care for them have the most fulfilling, rewarding, and productive opportunities possible. Now, the largest generation in history is entering their retirement years. Rather than sitting in a rocking chair, they want to keep rocking — and you can help them do just that. Our goal is simple: to create happy residents, families, employees, and partners. That’s who we are, and if you make your home with us, work for us, or work with us, we think you’ll notice more than we notice. How do we do that? We take good care of our people, and they, in turn, take great care of yours. Guided by core values that focus on our employees and residents, we’re reimagining senior living for a generation redefining what being older means.
