Ciel Senior Living Adds Three Florida Communities
March 7, 2025
WINTER PARK, FL — Ciel Senior Living (pron. see EL) has announced in a press release that it is now managing three HearthStone communities in Florida: HearthStone at Nona Lakes, HearthStone at Leesburg, and HearthStone at Wildwood. This expansion was led by majority principals J. Bennett Grocock and David P. Babinski of Stonegate Development Company.
These communities feature 130 units dedicated to assisted living and memory care at Leesburg and Wildwood, complemented by an additional 94 units at Nona Lakes. With these additions, Ciel Senior Living boosts its portfolio to encompass 15 managed communities and over 1,700 senior living units across nine states, all supported by a team of more than 1,000 professionals.
“The integration of these wonderful communities into our portfolio offers an inspiring opportunity for growth and enhanced service delivery,” said Managing Partners Edward Burnett and Ron Jeanneault in a joint statement. “We are dedicated to preserving the quality and integrity of each community, ensuring that every resident feels valued and supported. By embracing these three beautiful Florida locations, we can further enrich the greater Orlando market and the sought-after Villages community. Our commitment to our mission and core values remains strong as we invest in our team members and deliver exceptional, transformative services.”
A cornerstone of Ciel’s approach is its proprietary dementia care program, Connections by Ciel, which launched in September 2023. This program prepares memory care team members to provide specialized, compassionate care for individuals living with Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementia-related conditions. The company’s commitment extends to comprehensive Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) training for associates working in memory care environments. Additionally, Ciel partners with hospice, therapy, and pharmacy providers.
“Our vision at Ciel Senior Living is to elevate not just the resident experience, but the entire community, infusing it with joy, connection, and vibrancy,” stated President/COO Alexis Martini. “We strive to create an engaging lifestyle that empowers our residents to live their best lives. The dedication of our incredible teams is what truly brings our purpose to life, and we are eager to weave our mission into the fabric of Florida’s stunning communities.”
