"It's a great honor having two of our Life Plan Communities recognized as top wellness leaders in North America, including having Splendido ranked as the number one wellness community," said Mary Leary, CEO & President, Mather, who was also honored individually as one of the top five "Best in Wellness" CEOs in North America by the ICAA. "We're committed to a culture of wellness for employees and residents, whether that's through our industry-leading research, signature services, to supporting a personalized approach that inspires people to live and age well."

Wellness is not simply something added to Mather's programs and services; instead, it is a mindset and foundation that permeates countless aspects of living well for residents and employees alike. In addition, Mather Institute, the research area of Mather, developed the Person-Centric Wellness Model in 2021. The model is grounded in scientific research offering an evolved approach to wellness that empowers individuals to choose the types of fulfillment that match their aspirations.
