About PHILLIPS Management
We truly want our employees to be just as happy and satisfied as our residents which is why we didn’t want a run of the mill ad listing requirements, competencies, objectives, expectations, blah blah blah.

Not just the residents but the employees too. We seek out people who we think could pick up what we’re putting down. Someone that doesn’t meet expectations but exceeds them.
