Distinctive Living

I find working here to be very rewarding and even enjoyable, almost like a home away from home! All management team members are very friendly and fair. What sets this location apart from the rest is that everyone really cares for one another, remembers the details, and makes you feel welcome. Working here as an activities assistant, you can expect to knock on residents doors and ask them to join in activities, lead morning exercises and a morning game, and lead afternoon games and serve snacks and drinks in the afternoon. You will also change out activity flyers around the main areas and deliver residents their mail. You are also expected to help residents by helping them pick out books from the on site library, get them tissues, or help them with things on their smart phone if you have time. Workplace culture is positive and uplifting, everyone keeps everyone else smiling. The best part of the job is seeing the residents have fun and connecting with them. The hardest part is when residents pass away, or when too much is demanded of you at once, which doesn't happen very often.

I can honestly say this is one of the best workplaces I have ever experienced. The culture here is truly something special. From day one, I felt welcomed, supported, and valued by everyone on the team. The staff are incredible,hardworking, compassionate, and always willing to help one another. It feels far more like a family than just a workplace.

What stands out the most is the level of support from leadership. The VP and regional team are extremely supportive, approachable, and invested in helping everyone succeed. There is a genuine sense of collaboration between upper management and the CEO, which creates a positive and unified vision for the organization.

Leadership listens, communicates openly, and truly values the input of the team. That kind of transparency and collaboration makes a huge difference in creating a healthy work environment.

I feel completely comfortable here and proud to be part of such a dedicated and mission-driven organization. It’s rare to find a workplace where the culture, leadership, and team align so well. I’m grateful to be part of it.

Busy shift and balancing many responsibility can be stressful, but with a good team, we can balance everything out

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
A positive, caring, and team-focused environment where everyone supports each other.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day involves supporting residents with their daily needs, collaborating with coworkers, and ensuring the community runs smoothly. I spend time helping residents with activities, assisting with personal care, and communicating with the team to provide the best experience possible. No two days are the same, which keeps the work engaging and rewarding.

Working at Distinctive Living has been a very positive experience. The company truly focuses on providing quality care for residents while also supporting the people who make that possible. Leadership is approachable and encourages collaboration, growth, and new ideas.

The work can be fast paced, but it is rewarding to be part of an organization that is committed to improving the lives of seniors and supporting its teams. Overall, it is a great environment for anyone who is passionate about senior living and wants to be part of a supportive and mission driven company.

Do not trust anything they say- they all lie. Especially with upper management- it's all about covering up mistakes.  Make promises and then back track on them all the time. Everyone in Florida knows to not take a job at any Inspired or Distinctive Living. They fire the good people trying to do the right thing and keep the liars and slackers. They cut staff way down and overwork the caregivers and then blame them for poor care.  They diminish the quality of the product and then blame the staff for low census or eveyone moving out. They cover up mistakes with state with lies. Even when someone has proof and reports to HR they do absolutely nothing. HR is useless. Terrible company!

What is the best part of working at the company?
No best part , very stressful, constant turnover, management treats supervisors with no respect. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Stressful, large turnover, no support from current management, working short everyday, low pay

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic. If you go to management they tell you to change your way of thinking and also sweep problems under the rug. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Start off working short, trying to care for skilled nursing residents when this is an assisted living community. No lpn on staff at night, no can just alot of high school kids trying to do their best.

I really enjoy working with the assisted-living residents . You learn so much about them and it’s great to see their joy and interest in activities. The team here at Tinton Falls is great to work with each and every department head cares about their department and works together as a team with other departments everyone ships into help each other as needed as well from the executive director to the line staff everyone chips in and help as needed. It’s a great team to work for.

Since first stepping in to Mira Vie at Tinton Falls in late-July 2024, I fell in love with the staff as I was greeted with open arms and warmth at my first interview! Mira Vie's Executive Director and Fabulous Director of Marketing and the Corporate team have been so exceptional and generous to work for as well as the rest of the Management!  The hospitality and activities team are awesome, too!  The residents are very special to me, and every day is extraordinary!  I have never been so happy in my professional life! Thank you for believing in me, Mira Vie at Tinton Falls!


I work with an excellent team.  My Executive Director,  my Resident Experience Director and Department Head for Concierge are fantastic to work with.  They care about our residents as much as I do.  It’s a pleasure to come to work. I am happy with the PTO structure that Distintive offers, it is generous and fair.  I do wish they would offer contributions to the 401k program.  

MORE MORE MORE.constantly meetings.NO help from corporate.Corporate does not respond to emails in a timely fashion when you have a question.The make you cut down on staff so the quality of care goes down for the residents.People are leaving little by little because they are getting frustrated .No compensation,people that have worked there many many years that truly do care just cannot work like that anymore The BENEFITS are awful ,no doctors have heard of the insurance,having to find a NEW doctor is extremely frustrating.They should pay out employees if they do not use sick time ...that would be a GREAT incentive!!.
