Meet the Residents of the Newest Facility in Grand Blanc

E mployees and residents of the Bella Vita Senior Living facility in Grand Blanc truly love the place where they work and live. Bella Vita enriches the residents ’ lives with nature, art, music, a movie theater, entertainment and wonderful food in a safe and secure atmosphere.

“ Our family-orientated care environment allows us to provide individual care plans for our residents, so each resident gets exactly what they need, ” Mary Ketterer, executive director, explains. “ Not only do the residents and their families enjoy the beautiful environment, our staff does as well! ”

The resort-style, state-of-the-art facility quickly gained residents when it opened its doors earlier this year. Bella Vita is excited to announce it is building another new facility in Hartland, on M-59 just east of U.S. 23, which is slated to open in the summer of 2019.

More Ways to Wear Your Brand With Custom Stores

September 9, 2026
Branded apparel doesn’t have to mean choosing one shirt, one color and hoping everyone likes it. A custom online store gives people more ways to find something that fits their personal style while still representing your brand. At Behind Your Design, we create custom pop-up stores year-round for businesses, organizations, teams, events and special campaigns. With more options for apparel styles, colors, sizes and decoration methods, a custom store can turn branded apparel into something people are genuinely excited to order and wear. A Fresh Take on Pure Barre Apparel We recently created custom stores for Pure Barre that show just how much personality you can bring to branded apparel. For our local Pure Barre studio, we created a collegiate-inspired collection featuring block chenille lettering reminiscent of classic game-day apparel. It gave the Pure Barre brand a completely different look while still feeling cohesive, recognizable and wearable. We also created a seasonal Halloween and Breast Cancer Awareness store that was made available to Pure Barre studios across the country. The collection combined a timely theme with a larger purpose, giving studios access to special apparel while also supporting a breast cancer fundraiser. These stores can be seasonal, tied to a fundraiser or event, or simply created to give your brand a fresh, creative twist.

A Smart Take on the Classic Reusable Bag

September 8, 2026
Reusable bags are one of those promotional products that just make sense. They’re practical, versatile and give your brand plenty of room to be seen. But there’s always one problem: remembering to actually bring them with you.  That’s what makes a foldable reusable bag such a smart option. Instead of taking up space when it’s not being used, it folds down into a compact size that’s easy to keep close by. Toss it in a purse, backpack, glove compartment or desk drawer, and it’s ready when you need it.

Celebrate It. Promote It. Put It on a Banner.

September 8, 2026
When you have something worth showing off, banners make it hard to miss. Custom banners are one of those marketing tools that can work for just about any occasion. Th ey’re big enough to get attention, flexible enough to work indoors or outdoors, and customizable to fit everything from a single celebration to a large event. Whether you’re building brand visibility, recognizing sponsors, celebrating an accomplishment or directing attention to an important message, a well-designed banner gives you plenty of space to make an impact.
