Avista Senior Living Lake Havasu is managed by Enlivant.

Enlivant, founded in 1981 and formerly headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, was a pioneering senior living provider that operated over 200 communities across the United States before transitioning management to new operators in September 2023. Previously known as Assisted Living Concepts, the company rebranded as Enlivant as part of a strategic repositioning that included relocating its headquarters from Wisconsin to Chicago. Under the decade-long leadership of CEO Dan Guill, Enlivant served thousands of seniors with a team of more than 7,000 dedicated caregivers.

The company offered a comprehensive range of senior care services including assisted living, independent living, memory care, and short-term stays. Enlivant's pioneering approach centered on creating supportive, stimulating environments where residents could thrive in mind, body, and soul. Their unique Resident Care Partner program paired each resident with a dedicated caregiver to ensure personalized attention and continuity of care. This person-centered philosophy emphasized building meaningful relationships and fostering vibrant communities where seniors could maintain their independence while receiving necessary support.

Enlivant's commitment to quality earned significant recognition, with 50 communities receiving Best Senior Living awards and 20 communities achieving prestigious industry certifications. The company was widely acknowledged for its operational excellence and resident satisfaction, maintaining strong performance metrics throughout its operational period. Following industry consolidation trends, Enlivant's communities were successfully transitioned to new operators in 2023, ensuring continuity of care for residents. The legacy of Enlivant's person-centered care philosophy and dedication to enriching seniors' lives continues through the communities now operated by various successor organizations, maintaining the high standards of care that defined the Enlivant experience.
