Cima Senior Living, a newly launched senior housing operating company under Cima Investment Group, officially announces its entry into the market with a mission to deliver exceptional resident experiences through operational excellence, strong team leadership, and values-based care.
Founded by seasoned industry veterans, Cima leverages decades of expertise managing assisted living and memory care communities nationwide. The company was created to meet the growing need for operations that deliver both exceptional resident well‑being and strong financial results. Cima specializes in deep operational turnarounds and hands‑on community management, combining rigorous clinical oversight, strategic team development, and disciplined systems to cultivate vibrant, thriving communities.
“Our standards were high. Our timelines were tight. And our vision was clear,” says Jonathan Judd, founder of Cima and former Director of Strategy at Healthpeak, a $20B healthcare REIT. “We had to build Cima Senior Living ourselves—not because others didn’t care, but because we needed a different level of integration, speed, and accountability to achieve the outcomes our communities and families deserved.”
What emerged is a new breed of senior housing operator—tech-forward, investment-minded, and relentlessly focused on people. Cima deploys targeted capital improvements alongside a robust internal tech stack, and has invested heavily in AI and automation engineers to drive rapid operational improvement and reduce lag in decision-making. Every system is designed to support faster lease-ups, smarter resource allocation, and elevated care models—turning complexity into clarity.
Key Pillars of Cima Senior Living:
- Human-Centered Operations – Every team member, from leadership to caregivers, is driven by a shared commitment to dignity, connection, and purpose.
- Technology-Enabled Execution – With a modern tech infrastructure and deep AI integration, Cima operates with a level of speed and insight that is difficult to emulate.
- Ownership Mentality – Unlike traditional models, Cima operates with full alignment to investor goals, ensuring every operational decision serves both financial and human outcomes.
- Performance with Heart – From thoughtful programming like its flagship Vintage Gardens lifestyle initiative to its boots-on-the-ground culture, Cima doesn’t just meet expectations—it transforms experiences.
“At the core of this business are families making one of the hardest decisions of their lives,” Judd adds. “We don’t take that lightly. We built this company to rise to that moment—with empathy, precision, and a deep sense of responsibility.”
Cima Senior Living is currently operating communities in Texas and Oklahoma, with several new transitions underway. The company is on track to manage 12 properties by year-end, as it scales across select U.S. markets.
