Our mission is to provide a consistent approach to delivering enhanced life quality to any community. The Vital Life Community Concept was created through evidence-based research that supports our belief that for an individual to acquire total wellness, a community-based life is required. Living within the Act of Community will increase the maximum human potential for vitality and good health.

A CCRC culture change and commitment to resident satisfaction, wellness, and growth needs to take place to ensure the resident´s well-being, which will in turn, secure community sustainability. A lifestyle that supports personal growth and cognitive/social stimulation needs to become standard, or what is the motivating factor for potential residents to leave their homes? A wide array of activities, programs, nutritional choices, and new social engagement opportunities needs to be available for today´s senior citizens, as the Baby Boomers are fast approaching Platinum Years. Today´s Baby Boomers, as well as the Greatest Generation, expect lifestyle choices, as that is what they believe they have earned, and to which they are accustomed.

For those who work in the senior care industry and will be the ones to support wellness-directed initiatives, it is important to understand the vital role that community plays for the health and well-being of resident constituents. Community is crucial!

It has been suggested, studied, and proven that senior citizens with a PURPOSE TO LIVE can live an average of SEVEN YEARS longer than seniors with no life goals.As we age, we are all subject to natural aging and subsequent morbidity. A Vital Life Community that supports health and wellness is designed to decrease the potential impact of disease and disability. The resident benefits by gaining an increased sense of satisfaction and fulfillment (as seen in the 4F Life Chart above). Also, by embracing Vital Life, a resident is reducing the amount of critical care that may be necessary in later years.

Wellness cannot occur in a vacuum. It occurs in a "nurturing crucible"; one in which holistic harmony of all the parts bodes well for the resident to thrive.

The Vital Life Concept supports and enhances all 8 components of the "well-person." Nourishment and sanctuary in all dimensions are crucial for maximum realization of health and wellness. That supportive ecology can only come from, and be provided by the community. Therefore, only from a well community and all that it embodies can a well-person thrive.

We want to showcase communities across the country that are embracing Vital Life through design choices and implemented wellness programs. The CCRCs of tomorrow will evolve to a different service package with a new market driven delivery culture. Through this site you will learn more about Vital Life and how you can network with individuals who are already utilizing the Vital Life codes!
