Seven SALMON Senior Living Communities Earn 2025 Align Awards

Celebrating Workplace Excellence: Seven SALMON Senior Living Communities Earn 2025 Align Awards

We’re proud to share that seven SALMON Health and Retirement communities have earned the 2025 Align Workplace Excellence Award—a meaningful recognition of our commitment to building supportive, engaging, and people-first work environments. This year’s results mark an exciting increase from last year and reflect the strong culture growing across our organization.

The Align Workplace Excellence Award honors organizations where employees feel valued, connected, and supported in their roles. Communities that earn this recognition must:

· Complete Align’s comprehensive employee-engagement surveys

· Achieve a 25% or higher staff response rate

· Earn an 80%+ rating on “Rate us as a place to work” (Excellent + Good)

These benchmarks ensure the award reflects not just participation, but true sentiment—and this year’s results show our teams feel proud of where they work.
