About The Company

Pennant Services is one of the most dynamic and progressive companies in the rapidly expanding senior living, home health, hospice, and home care industries.

We are dedicated to living out our culture as defined by our core values, “CAPLICO”: Customer Second, Accountability, Passion for Learning, Love One Another, Intelligent Risk Taking, and Celebrate Ownership. By incorporating these principles at all levels of our organization, our employees feel valued and excited about their impact on our service center team members and operational partners.
