Our vibrant community offers a range of active senior living options and new opportunities for creative, educational and personal exploration.
All with the key of a Life Plan: guaranteed access to a full range of nursing home care, should you ever need it.
Welcome to La Vida Llena. Welcome home.
Live the active life you want to live – today – with no worries tomorrow. La Vida Llena means “The Full Life”. What separates La Vida Llena from other retirement communities or senior apartments is its commitment to senior residents’ health. We believe “The Full Life” should include longevity and well-being.
The bonds between friends can last a lifetime. Finding and spending time with new friends is the culture that has been cultivated by senior residents at La Vida Llena. Independent living in a vibrant adult community with assisted living nursing care when you need it.
What happens when the power is in the hands of the residents? A robust social calendar with entertainment, education and volunteer opportunities that you actually are interested in. La Vida Llena is proud to offer an ever-changing event schedule based on the requests and desires of the community.
Enjoy an active lifestyle with your new friends in the community doing the things you love. The full life retirement with peace of mind that you will be taken care of with aging in place and nursing home assisted living care, often without leaving your apartment.
Use this build-your-own-living-space tool to see the possibilities of independent living at La Vida Llena. Add and move around mock-ups of furniture to get a birds-eye view of your future living space.
Choices range from one-bedroom apartments to two-bedroom and two-bathroom with a spacious patio. Every apartment comes with the full benefits of the retirement community – from active, resident-driven events to assistance when you need it.

Mike and his wife Becky were touring the La Vida Llena (LVL) retirement community when the Train Room caught his eye. A retired environmental engineer, Mike has had a special interest in model trains from the time he was a child. He thought it would be fun and satisfying to get back into his hobby now as a senior. "The Train Room began with the first residents that moved here to LVL in 1983. People came here with their various hobbies," Mike says. When the opportunity came up to move into one of the community's casitas, they didn't hesitate. Now, Mike is the Model Railroad Club President for the community's unique Train Room – model trains taken to a whole new level. Click to read more of Mike and Becky’s story! ... See MoreSee Less
