Caregiver tip: Making activities more fun for those living with dementia
May 20, 2024
Cincinnati, OH (May 27, 2025) - Episcopal Retirement Services has been named a Top Workplace for the 16th consecutive year by The Cincinnati Enquirer and Energage! This honor belongs entirely to our incredible team members. Their passion, innovation, and dedication have made us the region’s only senior living organization to be recognized every year since the award’s inception.
The Top Workplace honor is based entirely on feedback from our team members through an anonymous survey measuring nearly 30 key culture drivers—purpose, leadership, communication, appreciation, and direction. Our team members’ responses speak volumes about the culture we’ve built together.
As one team member put it: "Servant Leaders understand what is really happening at Episcopal Retirement Services."
We’re calling this year’s milestone our “Sweet 16” because it perfectly captures how it feels: joyful, heartfelt, and filled with gratitude.
“Sweet 16 isn’t just a milestone—it’s a celebration of the extraordinary people who make ERS a great place to work and live,” said Laura Lamb, ERS president and CEO. “To be named a Top Workplace for 16 years straight is a reflection of our team’s deep sense of purpose. Our Mission isn’t just words—it’s something we strive to live every day. It’s incredibly ‘sweet’ to see that commitment recognized year after year.”
Joan Wetzel, ERS vice president of human resources, added: “What makes ERS unique is how we show up for one another. We don’t just talk about values—we act on them. Every team member brings something meaningful to our shared work, and it’s that sense of community and trust that fuels our success.”
