ST. PETERS, Mo. — Avenue Development has broken ground on the first active adult community under its new Viva Bene brand.
Located in St. Peters, a western suburb of St. Louis, the 195,000-square-foot campus will feature 161 units.
Concurrent with the groundbreaking announcement, Avenue noted that its Viva Bene-branded communities will partner with national primary care provider Sevi Health. The partnership combines Viva Bene’s vision of delivering wellness amenities with Sevi Health’s mission to simplify primary care for residents by helping seniors navigate a complicated healthcare system.
“Sevi Health’s leadership shares Viva Bene’s goals of transforming the senior living model beyond needs-based communities and will create environments that integrate socialization with preventative care coordination,” says Laurie Schultz, co-founder of Viva Bene. “We believe this collaborative partnership is part of the large puzzle to meet demand for middle-market senior living, and Sevi Health’s offerings can be utilized throughout the care continuum.”
The partnership focuses on managing chronic conditions and delivering better health outcomes to ultimately allow residents to age in place.
Access to Sevi Health and wellness programming will be included in resident rent, and services with Sevi Health will be billed directly to a resident’s existing insurance.
