our residents. Because resident satisfaction is a key measure of
our success, Vi actively researches and listens to the evolving
needs of residents and prospective residents. Feedback also is
received through resident surveys, resident committees, town hall
meetings, focus groups, and the "open door" policy of our executive
directors at the community level.

The success of the company is attributable to its experienced,
innovative leadership at the local and national levels. A
resident-centered approach to active living for older adults and
our commitment to providing high-quality services, amenities, and
care means that we recruit the industry's best talent. Vi employees
have a desire to serve older adults and are dedicated to our core
values of integrity, compassion, and excellence.
