Our Story

A Mission-Driven Path To Whole Life Living™

Our founder and CEO, Leon Grundstein’s path to senior living was far from conventional, as is often the case with the best innovations. Rather as an experienced real estate developer, he found himself with a campus to develop. While considering options, Leon came across senior living and something clicked.

A passion for health & fitness

As a college athlete and fitness enthusiast, Leon knew personally, the physical and mental benefits of a healthy lifestyle. He also knew that as people age, they still have the same passions and desire to be active and productive as they always have. But the more involved Leon became in the retirement living industry, the more he realized the lifestyle is very different from the vibrant experience he pictured – and that he thought older adults deserved.
