Rose Villa Senior Living Partners with HealthyLifetime for Research-Based Independent Aging Program
December 23, 2024
PORTLAND, OR — Rose Villa Senior Living, a nonprofit, single-site CCRC, has announced a partnership with HealthyLifetime, a research-based independent aging program developed by researchers from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
The eight-week HealthyLifetime program offers personalized one-on-one coaching to support a person’s independent aging journey. The program is available exclusively to Committed Tier members of Rose Villa’s Take Root program, its future resident program scheduled to launch in February 2025.
“Rose Villa is excited to serve as an early HealthyLifetime CCRC partner and actively support our committed future residents on their independent and healthy living journey,” Rose Villa CEO Glen Lewis said. “A program that can increase years of independent living by at least three to five years aligns with our mission to help residents live full, engaging, and purposeful lives.”
HealthyLifetime is a virtual, interactive, independent aging program designed to help individuals navigate the aging journey with confidence. Independent aging professionals, also called nurse coaches, work one-on-one with participants virtually to identify the unique constellation of issues affecting their independence and work with participants to create a personalized independence-strengthening action plan featuring short-term and long-term goals.
Participants will complete eight weeks of collaborative sessions with their nurse coaches that will include tools and methods to track progress and access to health and community resources to support them every step of the way toward greater independence. Participants focus on what is important to them, learn how to identify the issues holding them back from reaching their goals, and find solutions for achieving their goals for a healthier, richer, and more independent life.
Take Root’s Committed Tier members can access more amenities, activities, social opportunities, and dining options than traditional members. Capped at 32 members, the Committed Tier also elevates members to the top of the community’s 400+ person waiting list — reducing an eight-to-10-year waitlist to one to three years — and gives them first-refusal rights on available apartment or cottage homes.
Rose Villa, an independent, nonprofit life plan community located in Oregon largest city, has 262 independent living homes on a 22-acre campus that strategically takes advantage of the green space and river views. Net-zero energy neighborhoods, The Oaks and Trillium Townhouses were added during Rose Villa’s 10-year campus redevelopment, in addition to a creative arts building, a wellness center with a gym, a yoga fitness studio, a saline pool, complete with a slide and lazy river, and two dining venues. In spring 2023, Rosebud Preschool opened on campus. Rose Villa is recognized as one of Oregon’s Healthiest Employers by the Portland Business Journal and is listed among the 100 Best Nonprofits to Work For in Oregon and the Top 100 Best Green Workplaces by Oregon Business Magazine.
