The interviewer wants to hear that you have researched their agency and can give valid reasons why you want to work for them. When responding to this question, avoid saying that you want to work for their agency because they pay more than other agencies or offer a more comprehensive benefits package. The interviewer will feel you only want to work for their agency for monetary reasons. Instead, describe your reasons as aligning with the company's mission statement, reputation, or company culture.

"I want to work for your agency as you are a leader in the senior living industry and are recognized as such. I was impressed to learn that you have received awards every year for the past ten years for providing an atmosphere of family and community and enriching the lives of the residents you serve. I hold the same values in my position and want to help my patients lead a life filled with dignity and self-worth. I will be able to do that here with your agency, and I am excited for the opportunity to do so."
