August 10, 2023

ROANOKE, VA — Retirement Unlimited, Inc., a Virginia-based senior living company, has extended its partnership with Welltower by taking over the management of two Welltower communities and renaming them Elancé at Old Town Alexandria and Elancé at Boynton Beach. These communities join RUI’s Elancé Luxury brand, which offers an upgraded community experience focused on comfort, grandeur, and personalized care for each resident.

With these additions in Virginia and Florida, respectively, RUI has now increased its portfolio of east-coast communities from six in 2017 to 26, with six of those additions coming since January 2023.

“We are focused on strategic growth,” RUI President Doris-Ellie Sullivan commented. “With our partnerships and focused vision, we have taken steps to make our company an executive director-centered model so that the focus is on the day-to-day care of our residents. That’s what drives every other department’s operation.”

Elancé at Boynton Beach, formerly known as Sunrise at Boynton Beach, is led by Executive Director Michael Dasilva, an established RUI team member; it includes 82 units offering independent-, assisted- and memory-care living options.

For more than 40 years RUI has been owned and operated by the Virginia families of Fralin and Waldron. In addition to its 26 senior living communities throughout Virginia, Florida, and North Carolina, RUI has several active development projects. Their communities offer independent living, assisted living, and memory care (Inspiritás), as well as a full spectrum of life enrichment programs including RUI University; VIP Concierge; LUXE Unlimited salon and spa; the Taste of RUI culinary experience, catering, and event service; and RUI Fit, a personalized fitness program.
