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.

Gerry Hohn is the resident sports fan at Bella Vita. She is full of spunk and you can always catch her watching the Detroit Tigers whenever they are on TV. The other part of her day is spent working on her various art projects, which she loves to share with her friends and caregivers. Her charismatic personality resonates with everything she does, and you will never find her sitting alone in the dining room at mealtime.

“ I ’ m amazed at the kindness of all the caregivers at Bella Vita. There are always such a variety of activities throughout the day. Each family member is always welcomed by their first name. It ’ s truly heartwarming. ”

A Polished Pen with a Purpose

October 8, 2026
Sometimes, the simplest promotional products make the biggest impact! We really enjoyed working with Notre Dame Prep to create these custom red pens for The Amazing Shake competition. Featuring both the school's logo and The Amazing Shake logo with a sleek silver imprint, they're a simple way to showcase both brands. The Amazing Shake is a competition that helps students build important life skills, including communication, professionalism, and confidence. Branded pens are a practical way to commemorate an event like this. They're something attendees can take home, use again and again, and remember the experience long after it's over.
