Vivante Mesa

Vivante Mesa stands as a licensed senior living community that gives residents a wide range of helpful services and comfortable amenities, and folks living there can choose from independent living, assisted living, and memory care, with special care in The Shores memory care unit for those with Alzheimer's or dementia. Residents have access to nurses on staff for healthcare needs all day and night, and there's a doctor on call, with on-site medical partnerships with Hoag for doctor visits, therapy, and wellness programs, plus specialized services like diabetic care, rehab after hospital stays, and hospice care for those who need more support. The apartments feel modern and spacious, with lots of sunlight, and come with full kitchens, walk-in closets, roomy bathrooms, and washers and dryers, and wheelchair accessibility is built into the design, so folks can move around easily if they need help.

People can bring their pets and use the on-site dog park, which adds a bit of comfort, and there's plenty to do, with daily activities run by an Activity Director, like yoga, water aerobics, painting, dance, music, trivia, gardening, outings, and even wine tastings, so residents don't feel lonely or bored. Indoor spaces include a swimming pool, fitness center with a Pilates studio, a library, movie theater, billiards lounge, game room, casino, art and craft studio, and even a bowling alley, plus there are gardens, outdoor paths, a rooftop deck, and a pretty courtyard for sunny days. Vivante Mesa has several dining options, with chef-prepared meals served in room, in restaurant-style dining rooms, or in cafes like the Boardwalk Cafe and Social Grounds, plus spots for fine dining and private parties, and folks can always get food that fits their diet, from vegan to low-sugar or gluten-free, and room service if they want to eat alone.

Residents who need help with daily tasks like bathing, eating, taking medicine, or moving around get the right support, and the staff gives care at different levels depending on what each person needs, while those living with memory or behaviors related to dementia have secure areas, technology like wander-prevention bracelets, and activities for their minds and memory. The community offers transportation for appointments and social trips, with parking for residents who drive, and staff can help with laundry, housekeeping, and even salon and spa visits, plus there are devotional services for different faiths, and programs to keep everyone active and connected. Vivante Mesa is focused on promoting both health and independence, letting folks stay as needs change, with thoughtful design, reliable care, and many ways to keep busy, eat well, and feel safe and supported among neighbors and friends.

Vivante Mesa is managed by Integral Senior Living.

Integral Senior Living (ISL), founded in 2002 and headquartered in Carlsbad, California, has emerged as a leading third-party management company specializing in senior independent living, assisted living, memory care, and new development properties. Managing 58 communities across 15 states including California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Tennessee, Alabama, Michigan, Missouri, and Florida, ISL ranks as the 20th largest senior living provider in the United States with annual revenues reaching $750 million.

In 2023, ISL entered a transformative partnership with Discovery Senior Living through an investment by Lee Equity Partners and Coastwood Senior Housing Partners, creating the nation's fifth-largest senior housing operator. This strategic alliance positioned ISL as Discovery's largest vertically integrated senior living operator, managing over 113 communities within the Discovery family of companies. Together, Discovery Senior Living has become the largest privately held operator in the U.S., with a portfolio of nearly 35,000 units across 350 communities in almost 40 states, supported by more than 17,000 employees.

ISL's care philosophy centers on fostering dignity and respect for residents while promoting their independence and individuality. Their person-centric approach is exemplified in programs like Generations Memory Care, where individuals are viewed as whole persons first rather than being defined by their conditions. The company delivers meaningful and vibrant life experiences through exceptional amenities, award-winning programs, chef-prepared meals, and expert care. This commitment extends to creating fulfilling work environments for associates, recognizing that employee satisfaction directly impacts resident care quality.

The company's excellence has earned significant recognition, including 19 communities being named among the Best Senior Living Communities for 2024. Under the leadership of President and CEO Collette Gray, who received the 2025 McKnight's Senior Living Women of Distinction Lifetime Achievement Award and was inducted into the McKnight's Women of Distinction Hall of Honor in 2023, ISL has maintained its position as an industry leader. The partnership with Discovery has proven transformative for operations, enhancing support services, improving employee retention through enhanced benefits, and allowing both companies to leverage best practices while maintaining their unique cultures and programs.
