About LiveWell Group:

At LiveWell Group, our vision is to exemplify a new model for development and operation of
middle-market rental homes centered on community, wellness, and sustainability. Our mission is to develop healthy and vibrant rental communities that make living easy and allow residents to pursue wellness their way. To capture the organization’s emphasis on sustainability, lifestyle, and wellness, along with integration of its development, construction, and management activities, the organization was rebranded as LiveWell Group in 2023.

Our Spinney communities are for active adults, 55+, where residents live amongst like-minded peers in a lifestyle-focused environment. Designed for those “55 and Better” who desire independence without the burdens of homeownership, a Spinney community allows you to regain time back to explore hobbies and embrace your life to the fullest. As an active adult community, a Spinney community provides many lifestyle amenities. Our communities are ideal for active adults who manage daily household and personal care tasks on their own. Outside of the comforts of your cottage, our signature lifestyle and wellness program, SpinneyLife, is at your fingertips to support your goals. Engaging in SpinneyLife will truly improve your experience at The Spinney! Welcome home to wellness.
