Buena Vida Estates Reaches Occupancy Milestone
95% occupancy is higher than industry average

West Melbourne, Florida (January 18, 2012) --- Buena Vida Estates, Brevard’s only not for profit Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), celebrated reaching 95% occupancy of its senior living community and has started a waiting list for selected styles and locations.

According to the National Investment Center for Senior Housing and Care Industry (NIC); the average average occupancy for senior housing throughout the country is 88.1%.

According to Donald Spalding, Executive Director of Buena Vida, sales at Buena Vida has been steady for the last couple of years despite the economic downturn and challenging real estate market. “Buena Vida’s reputation for providing quality care and services has positioned the senior community as a leader in the market place, states Spalding. “As the only CCRC in the area, people are attracted to the medical and financial assurance than only a CCRC can provide.” Within the last year, Buena Vida has developed a Life-long Learning program, an on-site Outpatient Physician’s Clinic and a non-denominational chapel, which are all unique to senior housing communities in Brevard County.

Buena Vida has also developed ties with an on-site real estate broker, ITG Realty and unveiled an innovated Home Sale Assistance program that will actually buy someone’s home if it doesn’t sell in 18 months. “In addition to allowing residents the ability to move to Buena Vida “worry-free,” this program has removed the home sale objection as a reason not to move, states Rusty Melle, Broker.
