The country's largest senior-living operator is trying to make one hard transition feel less like a handoff and more like a life that can keep unfolding - with care, community and clinical coordination under one roof.
Agemark Senior Living is a family-owned operator of senior living communities founded in 1983 by real estate partners Richard Westin and Jesse Pittore. From a single converted hotel in Vancouver, Washington, the company has grown to own or manage 28 communities across six states, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing. Guided by its in-house LifeCycles wellness philosophy, Agemark aims to reframe aging and end-of-life as stages to be celebrated, and has been certified a Great Place to Work for seven consecutive years.
