Giving voice to the topics that mean the most to those who matter the most.
Health & Aging | Thrive Wellness
In the peaceful hallways of our communities, something remarkable happens every day. It's not found in our state-of-the-art facilities or innovative health programs—though these certainly matter. The true magic lives in the gentle touch of a caregiver's hand. The patient listening ear of a nurse. The warm smile that greets each resident by name. This magic is compassion. And compassion forms the foundation of wellness in our senior living communities.

Add any additional responsibilities, and caregivers can ignore their own needs. The result can be a case of caregiver burnout.

Community Experience | Finance & Planning
When John Walker retired, he wasn’t sure what the future would hold. He knew he wanted to continue to officiate high school football and softball games. He knew he wanted to play golf on occasion. Beyond that, retirement was a bit of a mystery. The thought of residing in a senior living community held absolutely no appeal.
