A seniors` community concept by Century Group
A seniors’ community concept by Century Group Bria Communities is a family of residences designed for seniors who want the freedom to be themselves, to live independently, and to experience fun and enjoyment with their friends and families every day. People At Bria Communities, we’re focused on living. We are friends, families and facilitators. We appreciate people. We make sure our homes have heart. Bria is about beginnings. Our communities are places where people find friends, see new faces, and discover their independence. Our residents tell us that joining a Bria community feels like a fresh start. In other words, our communities are social. We entertain each other, participate in local activities and lend a hand to those who need it. We understand good times and rough patches, and we welcome good times with stories and anecdotes that pick people up and make them smile. Bria is focused on people. Bria is for friends, families and residents; for lifestyles, cultures and backgrounds; for interests, abilities and care needs. Bria communities are accessible, inclusive and built for the people who live in them. Bria is for seniors who want the freedom to be themselves, to live independently, and to experience fun and enjoyment with their friends and families every day. 4 5 Place Places where you get to know your neighbours. Places to mingle, talk, and laugh out loud. Places for quiet moments, places for warmth, and places for playfulness. Bria communities are built around the idea that people want to live in places where they can have friends over, where family can visit and stay a while, and where there is room to read the newspaper in a quiet corner or get outside for a while. Our residences have spaces for all these things, as well as rooms for exercise, computers and coffee breaks. Some buildings even have resident-run stores to sell sundries, crafts and artisan gifts. 6 Menus are designed with our residents in mind. Our chefs prepare a variety of flavourful, home-cooked meals that cater to different tastes and nutritional needs. Family members and guests are always welcome to join residents for meals, as well as attend holiday functions and other special events. Our seniors’ residences are built within neighbourhoods. Each complex is near recreation, shopping and local amenities — walking distance for many. Our shuttle bus service and public transit connect our residents to further destinations. Purpose Bria is where you want to be. We participate. We nurture, we influence, we contribute. We have compassion, we make connections. We build meaningful communities together. Living in a Bria community is much like living at home — only with a large family and with groups of friends who can assist you with the day-to-day. At Bria, you are part of something larger — a community of people who care about each other and the neighbourhood in which they live. Our residents contribute, they volunteer and they participate in events and causes that mean the world to them. Our staff actively participate in building events and are there every day to help residents and their family members enjoy their time with us. Our recreation coordinators, along with our residents, have built an activities program that meets a variety of needs and interests. Initiatives are designed to support healthy cognitive function through social and spiritual connection, and physical and mental activity. Bria Communities are about intentional living, creating lifestyle with a sense of purpose, the ability to contribute to the community and positively influence others. 9 Bria Communities Inc. A seniors’ community concept. Bria is owned and operated by Century Group, a real estate development and property management company based in British Columbia. For more than fifty years Century Group has built places that define neighbourhoods; places with walkable streets where people live, work and shop, and places connected to natural landscapes. These places, when built at a human scale, with an aim of reducing energy use, create more sustainable communities with durable value and lasting beauty. 10 Bria Communities is focused on creating liveable neighbourhoods that consider people at every stage of their lives. Our seniors’ communities are built as integrated parts of residential developments, and located near local services and amenities. These development, operating and community-building principles are expressions of Century Group’s ideal of sustainability — Century Thinking™, the foundation for our vision to create beautiful, sustainable buildings, public spaces and neighbourhoods. 11 Bria Communities Inc.
