Area residents are invited to the grand opening of Viva Bene St. Peters, a new living community for adults age 55+ that uniquely blends price-attainable apartment living with resort-style wellness amenities and preventive healthcare services.
The fun-for-all-ages event is Wednesday, April 16 from 4 to 7 pm at 100 Viva Bene Circle located just off St. Peters Centre Boulevard which connects to Mexico Road and Interstate 70. Guests can enjoy tours, live music, entertainment, prizes, giveaways and exclusive offers. A ribbon cutting is slated for 4:30 pm at this new active adult living property.
Scott Tate, President & CEO, St. Charles Regional Chamber said, “We were fascinated when we first learned about this innovative apartment concept, and we’re thrilled to be the first municipal area in the United States to deliver this attainably priced senior housing option. We congratulate the Viva Bene team on this exciting milestone and look forward to the positive impact they will have in our region.”
Viva Bene’s key features include:
- Holistic Wellness Hub: A dedicated space featuring fitness programs, yoga and meditation classes, healthy cooking workshops, and other wellness-focused offerings.
- Community-Centered Living: Quiet workspace niches and shared gathering areas to support a dynamic social atmosphere with outdoor amenities (pool, pickleball court, and picnic areas) plus thoughtfully curated events and clubs.
- Financially Attainable Housing: One-bedroom apartments start at just over $1,600 per month, well below the cost of traditional senior housing options. Garage parking and additional storage are the only add-on fees aside from utilities.
- Personalized Preventive Healthcare: Viva Bene has a third-party collaboration with Sevi Health which focuses on helping older adults live healthier, more fulfilling lives. Residents can opt to receive care navigation and chronic care management services and also access primary care from this medical practice. Sevi Health engages directly with patients and bills most insurers including Medicare Advantage plans.
“Our Viva Bene model ushers in a new era of living for individuals aged 55-plus seeking options to traditional senior living, especially more affordably priced alternatives that cater to active, wellness-minded individuals,” said Laurie Schultz, Viva Bene principal and co-founder. “We thank all of those who worked enthusiastically with us to bring forth a community where vibrant boomers can live independently, engage socially and manage health more proactively, without worrying about excessive costs.”
