About
Agemark At A Glance
Agemark is family-owned and operated, a characteristic that truly makes us proud. The strongest family attributes are evident in their communities – relationships, laughter, love, compassion, and much more. Like any family, they celebrate good times and are there for each other in times of trouble or sadness. They aim to change lives together – for residents, coworkers, and everyone they come into contact with at their communities!
Since 1987, they’ve served seniors by providing the type of care they’d want for their own families. They’ve helped thousands of individuals by providing a loving, caring, and safe community that’s the next best thing (or sometimes even better) than home. They’ve grown their reach from coast to coast, with communities in Maryland, Iowa, North Dakota, Nebraska, California, and Washington State.
They prioritize the four dimensions of wellness for all people in their care – physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual. Their wellness philosophy recognizes the higher needs that each individual shares – to feel valued, have a sense of belonging, to make decisions about their own lives, and to find meaning and purpose. They believe that seniors should be connected to the communities at-large outside the walls of their buildings and look to encourage ways for those in our care to live their best, most fulfilling lives.
At Agemark communities, they look to Change Lives…Together! Whether it’s creating joy for a resident, a family member, or a fellow coworker, they encourage going above and beyond for others. Their employees are everyday heroes! They work to select the best to work in their communities and look for individuals that embody their values of professionalism, integrity, commitment and compassion, as these traits are held by the most successful of their team.
