Good company Beacon Specialized Living truly makes their employees feel appreciated. They consistently show support for their staff and recognize the hard work we do every day. Beacon also gives back by offering excellent benefits, including great insurance coverage that provides peace of mind for employees and their families. Their 401(k) plan is one of the best I’ve seen—better than any other company I’ve worked for—and it really shows that Beacon cares about our long-term future. Overall, Beacon creates a supportive, rewarding work environment where employees feel valued and respected.

The home managers in the WI East Region have been troopers throughout the transition from TCG to Beacon. While learning to navigate new systems, they have not faltered their care of their residents. The residents still remain the most important part of their job.

We all work together to create an atmosphere of involvement, inclusion & encouragement. Over the years I have witnessed our homes, & clients become family who genuinely care for one another. I have also witnessed clients grow and thrive and with our help, improve on their lives. I love to see all the creative idea's being considered and utilized. We as a company invest in our client's health and provide for them a healthy, forward thinking menu system to help improve on their health overall. We have seen much success since beginning the MY25 menu system over 3 years ago.

I have worked with Beacon for a couple years combined now. I worked in a group home setting and in a home with fewer residents. Both experiences have been great! I am very happy with my job and look forward to more time at this company.
