 Caring Community in Costa Rica
A peaceful place of pure air, pure water, Pura Vida!
As a result of changes in our life due to physical limitations, illness or disability, we have shifted our priorities and desire to live out our remaining time on earth in a caring and sharing environment, away from the exploitative pressures of the mainstream medical establishment.
We are now forming a community where we honor each others’ choices, support one another’s healing, and enjoy a higher quality of life in a peaceful tropical environment.
A small rural village atmosphere with shared amenities including:
Health and Wellness center
Community Dining and Recreation center
Creativity and Crafts center
Sustainability priorities include intensive production of abundant organic foods, natural medicinal plants, aquaculture, and tropical fruits, providing the healthiest diets and natural health treatment options.
If you are like us, we'd like to meet you. We welcome your collaboration, as together we discover ways to gift our life's wisdom to future generations. Share an extended family environment where we support one another in preparing to make our transition in dignity.
Assisted living care services available and very affordable
Each home custom tailored to individual needs
