We believe mental, physical and emotional health is essential to a quality of life everyone deserves. For low-income seniors and people with disabilities, resources to live well are harder to obtain. We are changing that for our residents by investing in community health and wellness programs that enable residents to live with strength and dignity as they age.
Help residents age with strength and dignity
Over the next two years, we’re furthering our impact on resident health and well-being by introducing wellness training to our community team members, revitalizing common community spaces and expanding programs to more residents.
We are working hard to introduce more programs and secure the annual funding required for all residents to benefit from them. From fitness to creative courses, it is our hope that we can continue to connect residents with fun, healthy activities.
We are taking big steps in upgrading our properties to include healthier, safer and more accessible living spaces for seniors and people with disabilities, along with rooms to house new equipment such as Sci-fit machines, treadmills and personal use exercise items.
Onsite community staff, led by onsite social service coordinators, will be trained on the latest and most effective interventions that improve residents’ mental, physical and emotional health. This includes trauma-informed care and conflict resolution among other training.
We have the honor of improving the lives of our residents every day through wellness programming, social services and compassion. Here are some stories of how our residents have been changed.
We’ve already invested in capital improvements to many of our communities to construct new and improved common spaces and renovate existing apartments for residents. This will allow us more room to facilitate wellness programming along with a space to install exercise equipment for residents to use to stay healthy.

Make a one-time or recurring donation to the Better Living Fund and invest in the wellness of all our residents.
Health and wellness programs are only possible through community support. While Embrace Living Communities receives federal and state funding, those resources do not fully cover the ongoing health and wellness programming our residents rely on to live well and thrive. This critical funding gap is filled by community and family foundations, corporate partners, and nonprofit grantmakers who step forward to ensure residents receive the additional care, stability, and support they deserve.
Donors interested in naming an amenity at one of our communities should contact Alina Serban at aserban@embraceliving.org to learn more. These amenities include community libraries, community rooms, patios, dining rooms and exercise rooms among other choices.
Estate gifts can help our future impact, enabling affordable housing sustainability and more opportunities for vulnerable seniors and people with disabilities to live well as they age. You can gift securities, life insurance or real estate. Direct contributions can be made from your donor-advised fund as well.
Donations from corporate foundations can make a significant impact on the long-term success of our communities, allowing us to accommodate specific requests related to a gift and help to create the largest impact possible.
Support doesn’t just have to be monetary. There are many opportunities for giving your time and skills to pour into residents through facilitating programs that support them.
