Marie Brown Visionary Society

Marie Brown, the founder of Aviva Senior Living, believed a community could do more and be more for older Sarasota area residents. That promise was to provide a community — built on a foundation of Jewish values — where seniors could live extraordinary lives by embracing wellness, life-enriching activities, illness prevention and dynamic social interaction. Marie’s vision in 1993 remains at the heart of everything we do.  

Members of the Marie Brown Visionary Society have made certain her vision lives on by including Aviva Senior Living as part of their estate planning. Their planned gift will ensure future residents can live extraordinary lives for generations to come.
