Erickson develops and manages retirement communities. The Erickson lifestyle offers unparalleled opportunities for seniors and it is the best financial and health retirement decision people can make.

The Erickson network is home to 21000 residents across 23 campuses in 12 states and employs more than 11,000. The company’s annual overall growth in 2006 was 14.6%. A total of 2,431 people across the country moved to Erickson campuses last year, and the company added a total of 1,100 new employees nationwide in 2006.

Erickson pioneered the 100% Refundable Entrance Deposit,* which protects residents' equity, and a fee-for-service schedule that ensures residents only pay for services they want and/or need, making the full range of housing and health services available to middle- and moderate-income America.
Erickson filed chapter 11 bankruptcy in October, 2009 and is currently in the bankruptcy proceedings.

Erickson was one of Fortune Magazines top 100 Companies to work for in 2008 and 2009. Erickson has laid off a substantial portion of its corporate management and has lost control of its property in Columbus, Ohio.
