The Riviera debuts in Alexandria

Last month, the first residents moved into a brand-new luxury senior living building in Alexandria, Virginia. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will make the opening of The Riviera official this month.

Located next to The Landing, an assisted living and memory-care rental building, The Riviera is an independent living community with 129 apartments for rent. If and when residents need more care, they can move to the sister property.

“Members at The Riviera will experience a vibrant, engaging lifestyle from the moment they arrive,” said Jamie Houston, general manager and campus executive of The Riviera and The Landing. “We’ve created a community that combines maintenance-free living with opportunities for connection, enrichment, and personal growth, along with the reassurance of support through our relationship with The Landing if needs evolve. It’s about giving members the freedom to fully enjoy this next chapter with both excitement and confidence.”

The Riviera, developed by Silverstone Senior Living, is managed by Greystone Communities, whose communities include The Trillium in Tysons, Virginia, The Providence in Fairfax, Virginia, and The Landing in Alexandria, Virginia.

A tier above assisted living

Inspīr Embassy Row, a luxury senior living community in downtown Washington, D.C., launched a new “tier” in January. Called Aura, the new lifestyle program is a step above traditional assisted living and below traditional memory care.

“For too long, the senior care industry has offered an either-or approach: assisted living or memory care,” said Shane Herlet, Co- CEO of Maplewood Senior Living and Inspīr. “Many older adults live in the in-between: a space where subtle cognitive or emotional changes require support, not limitation. Aura was created to meet that need with dignity, structure and intention.”

With an emphasis on daily routines, Aura is tailored for people who need extra care but still want to stay active in Inspīr’s programs such as book clubs, outings, concerts and virtual reality experiences.
