Silver Spring, MD - “I was looking for a job that would allow me to do what I love – training seniors,” says Breann Talbert. “I did my research, read the reviews, and understood that a career at Erickson Senior Living would allow me to do what I love while also enjoying great benefits and good work/life balance.”
While still living in Pensacola, FL, Breann, who was making plans to move to the Washington, DC area, applied for the fitness specialist position at Riderwood, an Erickson Senior Living community in Silver Spring, MD.
“I had a series of zoom interviews and really felt like Riderwood was the right place for me,” she says. “Everyone I met with was so positive. You could tell that they enjoy their work.”
“The services we offer to more than 30,000 residents nationwide are only as good as the people providing them, says Alan Butler, Chief Executive Officer of Erickson Senior Living. “That is why we take the hiring process very seriously in order to identify the best people. As a growth company with a bright future, we strive to be an employer of choice by providing an unparalleled workplace experience.”
For Breann, the reward is a job she loves, surrounded by supportive teammates with the common goal of providing better lives to Riderwood residents.
“I absolutely love my job and what I do each day,” she says. “Erickson Senior Living has been great to me as well. Since arriving last September I’ve been appreciated and supported. My boss, Paula Butler has been phenomenal, and my teammates are wonderful. This is a very supportive environment.”
Breann also appreciates the many advantages of Erickson Senior Living’s generous benefits program including annual well-being visits; access to wellness workshops and fitness challenges; and reimbursement of up to $260 for personal wellness expenses for team members enrolled in an Erickson Senior Living medical plan.
“The health insurance is phenomenal. I was sick for several weeks and was given the time I needed to go to my appointments,” she says. “I also appreciate the on-site nurse we can see as well as the health and wellness credit for gym memberships or home fitness equipment. Erickson Senior Living does a great job making sure you are taking care of yourself.”
Dedicated to providing employees more than just a job, Erickson Senior Living offers personalized benefits to meet team members where they are in life, while supporting personal and professional growth, development, and success.
For Breann, the most rewarding part of her new career are the relationships she’s made with the residents she works with.
“Working at Riderwood is so much more than a job because I impact resident’s lives every day,” she says. “In my role, I am helping them improve the overall quality of their lives. I find that very rewarding. It’s what led me to working with seniors, connecting with people and making a positive impact.”
