Ativo Senior Living of Yuma is ISF's fully stabilized 79 home community in the Fortuna Foothills submarket of Yuma, Arizona. Spanning assisted living and memory care, Yuma was the operating foundation of the ISF Ativo portfolio, the acquisition that anchored a $239.68 million financing and proved the connected care model now scaling across the Southwest.
// The Opportunity
Yuma was the proof of concept. A fully operating assisted living and memory care community in a fast growing desert submarket, it gave ISF a stabilized foundation and a working blueprint before a single ground up project broke ground.
Yuma sits in the Fortuna Foothills, one of Arizona's fastest growing retirement destinations, where a mild winter climate and a steady influx of seasonal and permanent residents have driven sustained demand for senior care. The community opened in 2021 and reached stabilization through the pandemic, a period that tested operators across the country. By the time ISF evaluated the portfolio, Yuma had already demonstrated durable occupancy and a loyal local referral base in its market.
ISF identified Yuma as the cornerstone of its first portfolio. Acquiring an established, cash flowing community alongside two ground up developments gave the foundation immediate operating revenue and a live environment to refine its connected care systems. The 79 home community was the only stabilized asset in the financing, contributing income from day one while Sundance and Santa Clarita moved through construction. That structure let ISF prove its operating stack in a real community before deploying it across new developments, reducing risk for residents, families, and bond investors alike.
// The Standard
Yuma is where ISF's connected care model was first proven at scale, an operating community that became the template for every Ativo project that followed.
Set in the Fortuna Foothills, Yuma pairs a relaxed desert setting with the full depth of an enterprise clinical operation. Residents enjoy an art studio, theater, fitness center, private dining, salon, outdoor gardens, and multiple game rooms, while families know their loved ones are supported by the same monitoring and care infrastructure ISF deploys across its newer communities. Comfort and clinical rigor coexist in a single connected campus.
The community operates ISF's full stack, including continuous vital sign monitoring, AI driven posture and gait analysis, automated fall detection with real time care team alerts, sleep quality tracking, and integration with the broader ISAI data platform. On site clinical services include medication management, physical and occupational therapy, speech therapy, podiatry, optometry, dental care, diabetes management, and hospice coordination. Residents and families access the same resident portal deployed across the Ativo and Insight Living portfolio, keeping families informed in real time. Yuma was the first community where this connected model reached full operational maturity.
Yuma was acquired through ISF's $239.68 million tax exempt and taxable bond issuance, structured with JLL Capital Markets, JLL Securities, and HJ Sims, which closed in March 2025. As the only stabilized community in the portfolio, Yuma contributed operating cash flow from day one of the financing.
