The certification is based entirely on direct feedback from team members across Discovery's national footprint through the Great Place to Work Trust Index™ Survey, the global benchmark for measuring workplace culture, trust, engagement, and employee experience.

This year's recognition comes during another transformational year for the organization. Despite growing nearly 30% year over year in team member count, Discovery continued to demonstrate strong employee engagement and organizational alignment at scale.

Today, Discovery and its family of management companies employ nearly 25,000 team members across more than 420 communities in 40 states, making it one of the largest and fastest-growing operators in the seniors housing industry.

In 2026, Discovery achieved an outstanding 86% participation rate in the Great Place to Work survey and earned a Trust Index™ score of 71%, reflecting strong levels of trust, pride, engagement, and connection among team members throughout the organization.

The survey measures workplace culture across five critical dimensions of high-performing organizations: credibility, respect, fairness, camaraderie, and pride. Discovery achieved particularly strong marks in the areas of respect, pride, and camaraderie, reinforcing the Company's focus on creating an environment where team members feel valued, empowered, welcomed, and connected to a larger purpose.

"Our culture continues to be one of the defining strengths of Discovery," said Richard Hutchinson, CEO, Discovery Senior Living. "To achieve this recognition for five consecutive years, while experiencing extraordinary growth and integration activity, is a testament to the incredible people across our organization who exemplify our cultural pillars of: Integrity, Teamwork, Performance, Accountability, Hard Work, Compassion and Creativity, and incorporate them into their work every day."

Hutchinson added, "At Discovery, we believe exceptional resident experiences begin with exceptional team member experiences. The trust our teams have built together across our communities and support centers is directly connected to the operational excellence, innovation, and performance we continue to deliver for residents, families, ownership groups nationwide."

Discovery's consistent recognition as a Great Place to Work further reinforces the Company's position as an employer and operator of choice in the seniors housing sector, a critical differentiator in today's competitive labor and operating environment.

The Company continues to invest heavily in leadership development, employee engagement initiatives, workforce training, operational support systems, and scalable infrastructure designed to support long-term growth while preserving its people-first culture.

As the Company continues to expand nationally, Discovery remains focused on building a workplace where employees feel empowered to grow professionally, contribute meaningfully, and make a lasting difference in the lives of others.

"Our team members consistently tell us they feel pride in the work they do and the impact they make every day," added Hutchinson. "That sense of purpose and belonging is what continues to drive our culture forward and position Discovery for long-term success."
