A Texas Story Rooted in Passion
Founded with the mission to redefine senior living and created by operators who are driven by a deep respect and love for older adults, Civitas has grown into a trusted name by consistently prioritizing the well-being and happiness of its residents.
Wayne Powell, Co-Founder and CEO, embodies the personal dedication at Civitas’s core. Raised by his grandparents, Wayne’s lifelong commitment to senior care began in high school and has driven Civitas to create vibrant, supportive communities for older adults. Civitas’ dedicated leadership team plays a crucial role in maintaining the company’s high standards.
This 12-year milestone celebrates the company’s growth and is a testament to its relentless dedication to cultivating a family-like atmosphere throughout its communities.
Creating Community Through Partnerships
One of Civitas Senior Living’s distinguishing features is its strong local partnerships. These collaborations enable Civitas to offer personalized, high-quality services that enrich the lives of its residents.
