Viva Bene: Active Adult Living

At the heart of Viva Bene lies a commitment to redefine the active adult living experience. This residential model goes beyond the conventional, standing out in its asset class by forging a healthcare partnership with Sevi Health. The core idea is centered around individual well-being, aiming to create a lifestyle where residents can thrive without the need for relocation. 

“Viva Bene is our way of promoting how we view active adult and what we believe is the future of this space, integrating the health and wellness deeply into these communities.” - Mike Mattingly

What Makes Viva Bene an Attractive Community Setting?

Many are familiar with the term “active adult” but they might be surprised with what active adult communities have to offer. The best ones are resident driven! Unlike traditional notions of senior living, the best communities are those where residents actively shape their environment. From daily activities to special events, the residents come together, creating an exciting and inviting atmosphere. Viva Bene's goal is to identify and embrace such communities, aligning with the desires and experiences its residents seek. It's not just a place to live; it's a community where residents actively contribute to the fabric of their surroundings.View amenities at Viva Bene.

A Comparison of Traditional Seniors Housing and Viva Bene

Even though independent living is the closest form of seniors housing to active adult communities, they vary significantly in terms of care and amenities. Even active adult communities have significant differences within the category based on the location and depending on the operator or owner of the community. Some communities stand alone as independent living, while others seamlessly integrate with assisted living and offer specialized Alzheimer's and dementia care. The appearance of independent living communities can range from apartment-style setups to those with added amenities like a swimming pool or indoor and outdoor dining rooms, and more.

In the realm of active adult living, Viva Bene’s distinguishing itself within the active adult space, mirroring the layout of apartment buildings but tailoring the style and feeling to cater to an older demographic. Learning from the insights of those who have spent a decade in the field, Viva Bene leadership has incorporated valuable lessons learned to ensure a smoother journey without encountering unnecessary challenges.
