In post-acute care, patient recovery depends on more than the quality of clinical decisions made at the bedside. It also relies on coordinated clinical support, timely communication and informed decision-making across care teams, making sure patient recovery and facility performance are closely interconnected. Medrina has built a post-acute care model that recognizes patient recovery and facility success as inseparable. It is one of the nation's largest physiatry groups, serving more than 1,500 skilled nursing facilities and other post-acute care providers. It supports millions of patient visits annually through a nationwide network of physiatrists, nurse practitioners and physician assistants who work as an extension of each facility's care team. Rather than simply evaluating patients, rounding and leaving, they work closely with physicians, nursing teams, therapists, social workers and caregivers to coordinate care throughout a patient's stay. They participate in care planning, support facility staff in addressing patient needs and help ensure everyone works toward the same recovery goals.

Vista at Simi Valley was built around the belief that senior care should remain personal. That belief guides its family-owned approach, with owners and managers staying close to residents and staff, listening, responding and making decisions around people rather than spreadsheets, income reports or distant corporate oversight. “We believe that care is pre-eminent in senior housing,” says Maddi Lewis, Vista’s Executive Director. That philosophy shaped Vista’s development in Simi Valley, a middle-class community with many retirees and former government and municipal employees. Its founders set out to offer a more affordable senior living option without sacrificing the care and amenities associated with luxurious communities. For Vista, quality is measured by attentive support in a warm, clean and satisfying environment, not unused room space or elaborate table settings.

Aging looks different for the 21st-century retiree. For former CEOs, artists, and entrepreneurs, retirement is less an end and more a launchpad—into deeper social connection, intellectual curiosity, and the lifestyle they’ve spent a lifetime building. Rather than scale back, today’s retirees are looking for a lifestyle that aligns with the sophistication and purpose they cultivated for decades. For today’s discerning residents, Coterie Senior Living offers something distinctly different: a life designed around the ambition to keep living fully. With two communities –Coterie Cathedral Hill in San Francisco and Coterie Hudson Yards in New York City – the brand delivers this promise in two of the country’s most dynamic urban centers. The communities are designed for those who are entering a new life chapter but have no intention of stepping back from the life they love. What unites them isn’t just a premium zip code—it’s the desire to stay connected, challenged, and culturally active. Coterie redefines luxury senior living by blending high-end hospitality with personalized wellness and purposeful living. Its approach is grounded in resident-led initiatives, curated outings, and experiences tailored to the interests and intellect of its community. Weekly programs might include book clubs or terrace yoga, but they’ve also involved candlelit catacomb tours, Broadway premieres, and speaker sessions featuring thought leaders. There’s even collaboration with nonprofits like Meals on Wheels and local fire departments, offering opportunities to give back. “Our residents aren’t slowing down but seeking more—more connection, more creativity, more purpose. We’ve built an environment that reflects that mindset and supports it every day,” says Sarah Laloyan, senior vice president of operations for Coterie. Behind the scenes, a dedicated resident engagement team conducts ‘resident discovery,’ interviewing each one during onboarding to learn about their interests, career history, and personal preferences. That information is stored in a proprietary database. New residents are matched with current ones to help foster instant connections and smooth transitions. For many, it means they’re not entering a new home but joining a community where someone is already saving them a seat.
