AgeWell Solvere Living

As the U.S. population ages, with projections indicating that up to one-fifth will be 65 or older by 2050, the Senior Living industry is experiencing significant growth. Many national and regional corporations dominate the market, leading to the employment of professional managers and the implementation of technology-enabled systems. However, this shift often results in a loss of local decision-making due to corporate policies and cost-efficiency measures. Despite this trend, some companies have successfully integrated advanced technology and professional management while maintaining local control, thereby providing an exceptional Senior Living experience.

One such company is AgeWell Solvere Living, a premier senior living company that manages communities across the country. It combines a successful aging philosophy with innovative solutions to create value-driven environments where residents can thrive.

“Our mission is to inspire people to realize their full potential, from residents to team members, by adding meaningful and inspiring new chapters to their lives,” says David Mills, President and COO.

AgeWell Solvere Living has invested in various technology systems to enhance back-office efficiency, including cloud-based accounting, billing, payroll, medication management, and service plan delivery systems. Despite these advancements, it maintains high-touch operations to maximize residents’ independence and comfort.

The essence of AgeWell Solvere Living lies in its unwavering commitment to the well-being of its residents. The company’s philosophy is embodied in its three Pillars: Salus, ServiceTree, and StoryTree. These pillars ensure that programs, classes, and activities are designed to inspire and engage residents while also respecting their unique stories and legacies.

Latin for well-being, Salus is a comprehensive wellness philosophy infused into every aspect of AgeWell Solvere Living. It prioritizes the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being of residents.
Programs and activities under Salus are designed to inspire and engage, promoting a holistic approach to health and happiness.

ServiceTree emphasizes exceptional customer service and relationship-building. AgeWell Solvere Living believes that the customer always comes first, and this principle guides every interaction with residents, families, and team members. ServiceTree ensures that the needs and preferences of residents are met with the highest standards of care and attention.

Recognizing that every resident has a unique life story, StoryTree focuses on honoring and celebrating these individual narratives. This philosophy encourages residents to share their experiences and legacies, fostering a sense of community and belonging. StoryTree helps create a supportive environment where residents feel valued and understood.

Described as a company that fosters individuality and personal growth, AgeWell Solvere Living offers a wide range of amenities and services. These include housekeeping, maintenance, on-site religious services, transportation, a full calendar of activities, fitness classes, entertainment, and meals prepared from scratch. The culinary experience is particularly noteworthy, with chefs crafting menus based on residents’ tastes and seasonal favorites, offering restaurant-style dining with fresh salad bars, daily specials, and homemade desserts.

AgeWell Solvere Living’s success is driven by its dedicated and long-standing staff, who are adept at handling a spectrum of tasks, from common chores to individualized activities. The company provides comprehensive on-the-job training programs to bolster staff skills and ensures that the management team meets regularly to coordinate work across departments, addressing resident needs in both Independent and Assisted Living.

A fundamental belief at AgeWell Solvere Living is that attentiveness to residents’ needs is crucial. Unlike many facilities that only assess on change in condition, AgeWell Solvere Living has implemented systems to notice subtle declines and discuss changes with residents and their families. This proactive approach has made a positive difference for many residents.

For instance, when a resident in the Assisted Living area began to show signs of memory loss, the team at AgeWell Solvere Living noticed the change and intervened. After thoughtful discussions with the resident and her family, it was decided that transitioning to the Memory Care area would be beneficial. A personalized care plan was created to address her specific needs. This support helped the resident receive the specialized care she needed, improving her overall quality of life and ensuring she remained engaged and comfortable.

Mills emphasizes, “At AgeWell Solvere Living, we believe in building relationships through integrity, transparency, loyalty, and entrepreneurship. Our goal is to create environments where residents feel valued and supported every day.”

With a simple yet powerful goal of offering great food and fostering friendships in a supportive environment, AgeWell Solvere Living seamlessly blends tech-driven and traditional management systems. This, coupled with a multi-generational team, creates a sustainable haven where seniors feel safe, engaged, supported, and independent.
