Balfour Senior Living

In 2023, Balfour Senior Living became a wholly owned entity of Kisco Senior Living.^[4] The transaction brought the Balfour brand into the Kisco portfolio. Balfour offers a one-of-a-kind living experience that supports and uplifts residents in their next phase of life. Balfour communities are thoughtfully designed and amenity-rich, encouraging peace of mind, enrichment, and connection.

Kisco Signature

The company recently launched its Signature Communities portfolio, featuring premium locations that offer enhanced hospitality and services developed in partnership with Forbes Travel Guide. The Carnegie at Washingtonian Center in Gaithersburg, MD was the first of Kisco’s Signature Communities in the Northeast, followed by The Newbury of Brookline in Massachusetts. These communities join other noteworthy locations such as Crestavilla in California and The Cardinal at North Hills in North Carolina.^[5] The fifth Signature community, The Fitzgerald of Palisades located in Washington, D.C. is scheduled to be opened in June, 2025.

Kisco Lifestyle

The majority of Kisco communities fall under the Lifestyle brand. Kisco Lifestyle communities allow residents to continue living well, better, and just the way they want. Kisco Lifestyle offers the freedom to shape the rest of residents' lives with security, engagement, and purpose.
