The Top Gun Program
Compassionate care starts here
At Cornerstone Caregiving, we are cultivating the potential of emerging leaders through our Top Gun Program. This initiative provides elite professionals early in their career with hands-on experience & mentorship to become pillars of our company as Operating Directors. Some came straight out of college; others were seasoned professionals—VPs, sales leaders, operators. Their backgrounds varied, but they shared one thing in common: a hunger for more. More ownership. More challenges. More upside. Through this dynamic learning environment, candidates are challenged to overcome obstacles, develop leadership skills, and actively shape the future of our business.
