We Are.
Two friends with one shared belief: that the years after 60 should be more meaningful.

Two friends with one shared belief: that the years after 60 should be more meaningful.
How we started
We live longer — and we owe it to ourselves to live better. Middle age has been extended: people are more active, full of plans, and refuse to put the brakes on their social and personal lives. This new era calls for new choices in how we live, too.
Our values
We believe loneliness is the greatest threat — and connection is its antidote.
We design so that each person can do things for themselves. Dignity flows from independence.
Every resident is a member of a community — not a patient, not a number.
Growing older means connecting more deeply.
