Following a successful rebranding in September 2023, Ciel Senior Living is now focused on strategic growth plans, which include acquisitions and future development opportunities.
The Winter Park, Florida-based operator, formerly known as Park Avenue Lifestyle, currently manages 11 communities and has joint venture agreements for future developments. With a presence on the Pacific Northwest, Midwest, and East Coast, Ciel Senior Living is looking to expand further on the East Coast.
Recently, Ciel Senior Living completed acquisitions in Long Grove, Illinois and Princeton, New Jersey, as well as taking on management of a community in North Carolina. The organization’s Chief Operating Officer, Alexis Martini, emphasized the company’s commitment to providing a balanced and flexible life for residents through individualized programming, culinary offerings, and care support.
In 2024, Ciel Senior Living is focusing on enhancing the resident experience and talent retention. Martini highlighted the importance of investing in human capital and bolstering benefits to motivate and retain team members.
The company is also placing a strong emphasis on leadership teams at the community level by ensuring comprehensive training and ongoing support for staff members. With a focus on executive director retention, Ciel Senior Living aims to drive operational improvements and growth across its communities.
In addition to staffing initiatives, Ciel Senior Living has implemented a new electronic health record software platform and plans to explore technology improvements like fall detection capabilities in the future. The company remains optimistic about future development opportunities, with plans to grow in collaboration with ownership groups who prioritize the well-being of team members and residents.
While development will primarily focus on the East Coast, Ciel Senior Living is open to acquisition opportunities nationwide. The company’s growth strategy is expected to continue throughout the fourth quarter of this year and into the first half of 2025.
Martini believes that Ciel Senior Living’s ability to manage various care continuums and infrastructure types in diverse markets sets them apart and positions them for successful growth in the coming years.
