I enjoy the people I work with and enjoy serving the seniors in their home. I love our slogan: “A great place to work and a great place to live for the residents.”

Amy Hazlett
Health Services Director
Two years at Brightview Greentree
Why do you like working at Brightview Greentree?
Brightview cultivates an atmosphere that is vibrant and provides the residents an opportunity to live an active and meaningful life, surrounded by friends and associates who care about them.
What types of interactions do you have with residents?
I interact with the residents on a continual basis. The initial nursing assessment is the foundation of a tailored health service plan that is individualized to meet their specific needs. I continue to interact closely with the residents, their physicians and families to ensure that as those needs change, we are there to deliver a holistic approach. It is important that Brightview meets their physical needs as well as focusing on their emotional and spiritual well-being.
What is the biggest satisfaction you get from your work at Brightview?
Working at Brightview provides me the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with the residents. I believe the senior population has so much wisdom and experience to share. I love conversing with them and learning about their past, their families, and their passions. I truly enjoy watching them flourish in this vibrant community.
Joe Santucci
Maintenance Director
Two years at Brightview
Why do you like working at Brightview?
Every day is a different challenge. It can be as little as looking for a pair of glasses a resident dropped behind their desk or as big as completely updating an apartment for a new resident move in. No two days are alike.
What types of interactions do you have with residents?
Our resident Don liked to go to the mountains and ski. Don found out that I snowboard and as soon as the cold weather hits we discuss what mountains I’ll be visiting that season. He has been to just about all of the ones on my list. Peggy is the only resident in our community from my hometown. We connected instantly over people and places we both know.
What is the biggest satisfaction you get from your work at Brightview?
The friendships that I have formed. I consider myself lucky to be able to call so many people I work with friends. The residents and coworkers at Brightview make it more than just a workplace. They make it a home away from home.
