More about Koelsch Communities
Pay is posted at $32–$40 an hour depending on experience, with full-time and part-time roles and an evening shift available. New grads are welcome to apply. Koelsch is a third-generation family-owned group with nearly 40 communities in eight states and more than 65 years in senior living. On shift you get a complimentary meal; benefits include health, dental, vision, life, and accident coverage with employer HSA contributions, plus PTO, sick time, and holidays (full medical for full-time; dental and accident for part-time). A $500 employee referral bonus is listed. Washington has no state income tax on wages, and Longview’s cost of living sits a little under the national average with short local commutes. Peers often describe a family-like feel and real training, especially if you are newer. Growth and Achievement Awards are part of the picture, though some staff say advancement support is thin. Reviews also flag unresponsive upper management, understaffing, and the lack of a 401k — worth weighing before you apply.
