Bonita Springs, Florida – August 5, 2025 – Discovery Senior Living (“Discovery” or the “Company”), one of

the nation’s largest most trusted and forward-thinking senior housing operators, proudly announces the

launch of its newest innovation, Calligraphy, a premier brand of distinguished senior living communities

redefining excellence for the next generation of older adults.


Rethinking. Reimagining. Redefining. Welcome to the Calligraphy Era – The Art of Senior Living.

As operators engaged with world-class ownership groups, Discovery is continually challenged and

inspired to identify emerging trends, answer unmet needs, and develop cutting-edge programs to lead the

industry. With Calligraphy, Discovery is answering one of the most significant gaps in the marketplace;

creating an elevated experience that blends intellectual vitality, discreet sophistication, clinical

excellence, and personalized service for older adults who are not finished living.


“We are thrilled to launch Calligraphy, a strategic milestone that reflects the deep understanding of this

industry and visionary capabilities of our team redefining what it means to thrive in your encore years,”

said Richard Hutchinson, CEO of Discovery Senior Living. The industry continues to look to Discovery to

anticipate what’s next. With Calligraphy, we’re once again redefining the bar, translating our unique

insights and experiences in emerging market demands into a refined, scalable offering that elevates the

entire category. ”


Celebrating the Opening of Calligraphy’s First Flagship Communities

Discovery is pleased to announce the highly anticipated and successful launch of its first two Calligraphy

communities – Calligraphy Westwood Village and Calligraphy Napa Valley. These communities have

been carefully selected to bring this new vision to life and serve as flagships for a brand built around

distinction, dignity and intellectual enrichment. These communities also mark the beginning of a national

rollout with more properties to follow across the Discovery portfolio through 2026 and beyond.


Calligraphy – The Art of Senior Living

Just as the name implies, Discovery believes that life’s most meaningful stories are still being written and

seniors should be inspired to embrace each day as an opportunity to craft the next chapter of their

journey. The Calligraphy brand is defined by intentional design, curated lifestyle programming, and

understated elegance. It evokes timeless artistry and old-world charm, appealing to residents who are

accomplished, thoughtful, and eager to remain actively engaged with life. These communities are

launchpads for the Encore generation, where educators, doctors, entrepreneurs, artists, and

philanthropists come together to continue growing, giving, and living fully.


What Sets Calligraphy Apart

Based on a high-end hotel hospitality mindset, Discovery developed several Signature Services to deliver

elevated experiences through consistent operational excellence. Delivering significantly more than

creative programming, the Discovery team has redefined and reimagined spaces and amenity areas to

bring new life to better align to the wants and desires of residents.

Who Is Calligraphy For?

As Calligraphy turns words into art, these communities will provide the environment, experiences, and

care that allow residents to live with elegance and intention, creating a life that’s uniquely their own.

Extensive market research highlights that those seeking this lifestyle are sophisticated, self-assured, and

deeply engaged with the world around them. They want connection. They want quality. They want to

continue the “good life” in a way that feels personal, meaningful, and elevated. Discovery is here to

provide that lifestyle through Calligraphy.


“Over the last three decades, the Discovery team has had the opportunity to build and steward some of

the industry’s most recognized brands,” said Diana Ferrante-Thies, EVP Brand Management &

Communications, Discovery Senior Living.


“Calligraphy represents a new pinnacle that responds to a

clear shift in what today’s older adults expect from their next chapter. This brand is differentiated by its

purpose and detailed execution, but also by our team’s strategic foresight in recognizing and responding to

a profound gap in the market. It has been a privilege to lead this initiative and collaborate with the

exceptional Discovery team to bring a new standard of excellence to life and once again lead the industry

forward. ”

This stay might be a form of relief for primary caregivers who are going away or will otherwise be unavailable for a time. Some seniors need assistance at home on a daily basis. If their caregiver is unable to care for them for several days, they can arrange for respite care in a senior living community. These stays could last for a few days or a few weeks. Respite care provides peace of mind for the caregiver as well as giving the senior opportunities to interact with others. In many senior living communities, there are opportunities for group activities. You also might choose respite care for your loved one if they are recovering from a surgery, a joint replacement procedure, stroke, or another medical event. Recovering from a medical event can require more care than can be provided in-home. Caregiving can be a full-time job. Senior respite care provides relief so that you can continue caring for your loved one in the future with renewed energy. At Discovery Village, your loved one will be in the care of trained, experienced team members. Theyll enjoy our on-site amenities, meals cooked from scratch, and 24/7 medical care. What Youll Find in Discovery Villages Senior Respite CareRespite care is a fine choice for those recovering from a medical procedure or for those whose caregivers will be away.
