In 2016, Masterpiece designated Acacia Creek as a “Certified Center for Successful Aging,” a prestigious distinction held by only 16 communities in the United States. With criteria based on qualifications determined in a landmark 10-year study by the MacArthur Foundation, this recognition is presented to “organizations that have set themselves apart from all others by implementing the best successful aging practices that promote resilience and benefit both members and team members.”

Acacia Creek’s application was unique in that it not only met but exceeded Masterpiece Living’s gold-caliber standards.

Very few communities have ever scored above 90 on the evaluation; Acacia Creek’s score was 95, the highest to date. At Acacia Creek we have measured and can statistically prove that residents are empowered to grow the whole person intellectually, socially, physically and purposefully.

“This achievement reflects the vitality and engagement that is the culture of Acacia Creek,” says Acacia Creek President Chuck Major. “It is the result of the partnership between residents and team members in creating a community where all residents age happily and successfully.”
