Kurt Maes: CEO and Owner

Kurt has been involved in real estate development in the Valley for over 25 years, playing a significant role in the area's growth and development. As he watched firsthand how our city has flourished, he became increasingly aware of the need for a holistic approach to aging that addresses the needs of our senior community members. He made it his mission to provide the perfect place for them to call home and fully enjoy their golden years.

Kurt founded Vitality Assisted Living alongside his wife, Kim, driven by a deep desire to offer senior living solutions for the growing aging population. His vision was to create an environment where seniors can thrive, live with purpose, and experience vitality, rather than just existing in a facility.

His aim is always to cultivate the most loving, home-like environment in the most intimate setting, ensuring that residents receive the care and attention their own family members would want for them in their final years. Every decision is rooted in the premise that if it isn't good enough for their family, it isn't good enough for their residents.

Kurt also recognizes that not all seniors prefer, require, or can afford to move into assisted living. He identified a growing trend of seniors wishing to age-in-place and understands that proper safety measures, as well as nutrition for seniors, are essential for enabling them to thrive during this time. Together with Kim, he created Safer Senior Solutions to advocate for the aging and their families. Their mission is to alleviate the stress families face by guiding them through the process of setting up their loved ones to age in place safely for as long as possible. And when the time comes for a transition, they serve as an objective voice to help navigate the next steps.
