I’m confident this recognition is the result of our corporate mission to put the resident first in everything we do. By partnering with some of the most respected authorities on aging in the country our team members are able to incorporate their findings in our 4 Pillars of Living Life on Purpose™, integrating Physical Fitness, Brain Fitness, Dining Experience, and Social/Spiritual Engagement.
