Jaybird Soaring High

Unparalleled lifestyle experiences created in the communities we own and/or operate have taken us to great heights in the senior living industry.

Since 2004, we’ve created a culture where our staff can innovate and grow — while our residents thrive and their families enjoy peace of mind.

We’re JUST GETTING started!

Energy, innovative processes, and our aptitude for joy equip us to deliver on our promise — to provide exceptional care and extraordinary living.

About Jaybird

Leaders with heart—who care.

Portrait of Ken Russel, Chairman.
KEVIN RUSSElL, CHAIRMAN
  1. Good things come from hard work, modesty, and discipline.

  2. Integrity is the engine that drives all good outcomes.

  3. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, we must treat everyone with respect. Respect is fundamental to living a great life with those in our communities and on our team.

It’s leadership like this that you can find in all of our teams and communities throughout the Midwest.

Jaybird’s programs Make It Happen

Every person calling one of Jaybird’s communities home enjoys the benefits of getting what they want, when they want it, how they want it. You might even say it is like walking the red carpet of royalty. We seek out the unique stories of everyone and make even those long-lasting dreams a reality.

From accommodating each resident’s desires, to crafting real experiences that make dreams come true, to our programming—we are reimagining what senior life can be!
