Longevity Health Earns Top Workplace Award Amid Rapid Growth

PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL – April 21, 2026 – Longevity Health, a national provider of clinical services for seniors, has earned the prestigious Great Place To Work Certified™ designation in its first year of participation. The recognition, based entirely on employee feedback, saw 82% of its workforce describe the company as a great place to work—a figure that stands 25 percentage points above the average for a typical U.S. company.

The certification arrives as the company navigates a period of significant expansion and positions itself as a leader not just in patient care, but also in corporate culture within the demanding senior healthcare sector.

Linking Culture to Clinical Excellence

For Longevity Health, the certification is more than a plaque on the wall; it's presented as a core component of its business strategy. The company operates as a national Institutional Special Needs (I-SNP) plan, providing comprehensive care for residents in senior living facilities. CEO Ben Lerer directly connected the workplace environment to the quality of care provided to its vulnerable members.

"We are thrilled to become Great Place To Work-Certified™ as we consider employee experience and our organizational culture a top priority every day," Lerer stated in the announcement. "We believe that happier, more engaged employees support growth and enable us to provide better care to our members."

This philosophy appears to be bearing fruit beyond employee satisfaction surveys. In the months leading up to this workplace award, Longevity Health garnered significant accolades for its service quality. In October 2025, the company announced it had achieved top ratings in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Star Quality Measures, a key benchmark for excellence in member care. Shortly after, U.S. News & World Report recognized it as one of the Best Insurance Companies for Medicare Advantage in 2026. These achievements lend credence to the argument that a well-supported workforce is fundamental to delivering superior patient outcomes.

The Great Place To Work® organization, a global authority on workplace culture, validates this connection. According to their research, employees at certified workplaces are 93% more likely to look forward to coming to work. "Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience," said Sarah Lewis-Kulin, Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work. She noted that because the award is based on real-time employee feedback, it demonstrates that Longevity Health "stands out as a top employer."

A Strategy for Talent in a Competitive Field

The healthcare industry, and senior care in particular, faces persistent challenges with staffing shortages and high turnover rates. In this context, achieving a high-profile "employer-of-choice" status becomes a powerful tool for recruitment and retention. Longevity Health has made its intentions clear, concluding its announcement with a prominent "WE'RE HIRING!" message.

The company has undergone substantial growth, with some data indicating its employee count grew by nearly 40% over the past year, now numbering between 400 and 700 employees. Attracting and retaining top talent is critical to sustaining this momentum and maintaining service quality. The certification provides a quantifiable advantage; Great Place To Work research suggests job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a certified company.

Longevity Health's careers page details a commitment to investing in its team, offering competitive benefits that include covering 90% of employee medical premiums, fostering an open feedback culture, and providing opportunities for professional development. The combination of tangible benefits and a certified positive culture creates a compelling proposition for prospective employees in a crowded marketplace.

Building a Supportive Workplace from Within

The high marks from employees are rooted in specific, measurable aspects of their daily experience. The survey data revealed that 91% of team members felt welcomed when they joined the organization, and 89% reported being able to take time off from work when they felt it was necessary. These statistics point to a culture that prioritizes a smooth onboarding process and respects work-life balance—two factors crucial for preventing burnout.

To further embed this supportive ethos, Longevity Health recently launched a new Employee Resource Group (ERG) named 'Voice'. The initiative is designed to empower team members to share their perspectives and directly influence organizational decisions. By creating formal channels for employee feedback to be heard at every level, the company aims to strengthen engagement and ensure its policies and improvements are aligned with the needs of its workforce.

The certification process itself is rigorous. It relies on the Trust Index™ survey, a comprehensive questionnaire that measures employee experience across five dimensions: credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and belonging. To become certified, a company must meet a high threshold, ensuring that a vast majority of its employees consistently report a positive workplace experience. Longevity Health's success in its first attempt underscores a deliberate and sustained focus on building a strong internal culture.

A More Complex Picture Emerges

While the Great Place To Work Certification™ paints a picture of broad satisfaction across the organization, a deeper look at public employee feedback platforms reveals a more nuanced landscape. The overall high score reflects the positive experiences of a large majority of the company's workforce. However, independent reviews suggest that the employee experience can vary, particularly between corporate and clinical field roles.

Feedback from some employees in non-clinical roles often praises the company's supportive culture and meaningful mission. In contrast, some reviews from clinical staff, such as nurse practitioners and other field clinicians, point to challenges related to management, communication, and work-life balance. Common themes in this critical feedback include a perceived disconnect between senior leadership and frontline employees who deliver patient care, as well as concerns about heavy workloads.

This disparity is not uncommon in rapidly growing healthcare organizations, where scaling operations while maintaining a consistent culture across diverse roles presents a significant leadership challenge. The high-level satisfaction captured by the certification survey and the specific concerns raised in public forums highlight the ongoing task for Longevity Health's leadership: ensuring that the positive, supportive culture celebrated by the award permeates every corner of the organization, from the corporate office to the front lines of patient care. The 'Voice' ERG may be a critical tool in bridging any existing gaps and addressing these varied experiences as the company continues its growth trajectory.
