SANTA BARBARA, Calif., DEC 10, 2024— Maravilla is proud to receive the prestigious 2024 ICAA NuStep Beacon Award, recognizing it among North America’s top 25 “Best in Wellness” senior living communities. This marks the sixth consecutive year that Maravilla has earned this distinguished honor, highlighting its dedication to creating a wellness-centered environment that enriches the lives of older adults. Maravilla shares this remarkable achievement with its sister communities, Maravilla at The Domain in Austin, Texas, and Maravilla Scottsdale in Arizona.
The International Council on Active Aging (ICAA) and NuStep’s recognition highlights Maravilla’s dedication to creating a comprehensive wellness culture that promotes healthy, active living for all residents and staff members.
“Receiving the ICAA NuStep Beacon Award for the sixth time reflects our community’s transformative approach to wellness,” said Executive Director Ruth Grande. “We are committed to providing residents an enriched and vibrant lifestyle that empowers them to lead active, purposeful lives.”
At Maravilla, wellness is seamlessly woven into every aspect of community life through thoughtfully designed programs that nurture physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. Like all communities operated by the Solana Beach-based Senior Resource Group, Maravilla embraces the signature Zest initiative. This proactive approach to wellbeing emphasizes personal fulfillment and new experiences, focusing on three essential dimensions of the self: mind, body and soul. Launched in 2018, the evidence-based initiatives seek to measure and improve residents’ quality of life, thus creating a more active, engaged and healthy lifestyle. Zest focuses on positive ways for residents to feel their best—from social engagement and physical activities to diet and nutrition.
Maravilla has also been honored as a Pinnacle Award Winner, ranking among the top 5 senior communities in three of the past six years.
The ICAA NuStep Beacon Award is awarded to senior living communities that successfully foster a wellness-centered environment and create programs and services that get residents and staff engaged in seven key dimensions of wellness: emotional, physical, intellectual, social, spiritual, vocational and environmental.
