Where Team Culture Shapes Every Day

June 29, 2026 – [Paramus, NJ] – Juniper Village at Paramus has earned a Great Place to Work? Certification in 2026, based entirely on feedback from the team members who work there each day. The certification reflects how team members experience their workplace in real time, including whether they feel supported by leadership, respected by their peers, and connected to the purpose behind their work.

At Juniper Village at Paramus, that sense of connection is built through everyday interactions. It shows how team members support residents, how teams rely on one another, and how the community comes together around shared responsibility for residents' well-being.

"This recognition is a reflection of something we work hard to build every day — a workplace where people feel valued, supported, and connected to something larger than themselves,” said Lynne Katzmann, CEO of Juniper Communities. “Senior living is one of the most meaningful career paths someone can choose, and at Juniper, we are committed to making it a place where associates can truly grow, lead, and thrive. This certification confirms we are on the right track, and it motivates us to keep raising the bar for our associates and the residents they serve."

The recognition highlights the dedication of team members who bring consistency and care to their work each day. Their efforts shape not only the workplace culture, but also the experience of residents who call the community home.

“I know firsthand how special our culture at Juniper is, and it is wonderful to see that validated through associate feedback," said Kristin Fogle, National Director of People at Juniper Communities. “The Great Place to Work recognition also helps us to show others outside of Juniper, who may be looking for a new opportunity, that we are a company that walks the talk and makes people feel known, appreciated, and celebrated!”

Juniper supports its team members with programs and opportunities designed to help them grow, thrive, and build lasting careers in senior living. Juniper University provides ongoing workforce education, professional training, and career development resources, while the Leadership Academy offers a pathway for associates ready to step into leadership roles. The emPOWER program recognizes and celebrates team members who go above and beyond, and a comprehensive benefits package — including competitive compensation, on-demand pay, health coverage, retirement planning, paid time off, and tuition reimbursement — reflects Juniper's commitment to the people who make its communities exceptional.

At Juniper Village at Paramus, team members play a central role in helping older adults live with dignity, independence, and connection. The workplace culture and residents' experiences are closely linked. It is shaped by daily actions and a shared sense of purpose, and this certification reflects both.
