She’s opened over a dozen senior living communities around the country and is looking forward to being part of the long-term vision for Bella Vida. “Every chapter of your life can be what you want it to be,” noted Tamara. “In my experience, today’s seniors have changed. They have different tastes and diets, they are healthy and active, and they are often well-traveled. They also have different expectations of what a beautiful life means. That’s what is exciting about Bella Vida. Here we will meet – and exceed those expectations.”
