The Tale of Inception & The Inspiration
When asked about the primary force that inspired him to establish Distinctive Living, Joseph Jedlowski went back to the days when he was living with his grandparents. Joseph’s grandparents have been a source of knowledge, support, and inspiration for him throughout his life, nurturing his passion for treating seniors with respect and love. As a child, Joseph’s paternal grandmother would bring him to the nursing home where she worked, where he would help out in the dining room and participate in activities with the residents. With 20 years of experience, Joseph now oversees two successful businesses: one with 26 properties under management in nine states after only two years of operation and another with 19 properties in various stages of development and develops its own assets while supporting individuals in managing theirs.
“Knowing that our residents are being taken care of is incredibly important to me. One day it might be a loved one of mine, so I treat people the way I would want my grandma treated. I work to inspire our employees to do the same so that we can keep the promises we’ve made to our residents, and it’s gratifying to give their families peace of mind seeing their loved ones thrive and flourish”, the leading man further apprised.
