State-of-the-Art Senior-Living Facility Opening Late 2017

A t Bella Vita, exceeding the expectations of the residents is simply the beginning. Having a quality life in our later years is the least we all should expect. Bella Vita is committed to providing an environment that allows one to feel independent, with the assistance of its highly trained care group.

“The opening of Bella Vita is a critical step towards planning for the ever-growing needs of our senior community,” Chuck SeKrenes, developer and owner, explains.

The new all-inclusive facility, which is opening in Grand Blanc on Hill Road just east of I-475, is set to keep its residents active through a variety of offerings, such as art and horticulture. SeKrenes explains that it’s important for the residents to keep active doing what they enjoy. “We want our residents to be active in indoor and outdoor activities. There is even a salon on site where residents can go for their hair appointments.”

A grand opening celebration for the public is planned for late 2017.

“The building is exceptionally well constructed,” SeKrenes says. “Our 61-unit community has four different room plans, double-occupancy rooms for couples and each with unique attributes because we understand that every senior is unique who chooses to call Bella Vita home.”


The Bella Vita care group is highly trained to recognize the different needs of the residents and is aware of specific needs, which may change over time. The care residents receive when living at Bella Vita is what sets this facility apart from others. Bella Vita provides frequent training and education for its care group to allow for continuous growth.

“Our goal is for this to be [seniors’] last move,” SeKrenes explains. “We want this to be their home for the rest of their lives. We want their families to know that their loved ones are well cared for.”

“At Bella Vita, we believe you’re the happiest when you’re home. Bella Vita creates an upscale resort feel, with a home personality, in a family environment. Our passion and mission are the same…to be the best, provide the best and give the best to our residents,” SeKrenes explains.

Lewis & Knopf recently reached a milestone, celebrating 90 years in business. To honor this achievement, they partnered with Behind Your Design to create custom anniversary apparel with a custom anniversary logo, that highlights their legacy while giving employees something meaningful to wear. Custom Company Store for Employee Apparel Instead of offering a single apparel option, we created a custom online company store for Lewis & Knopf employees. This allowed staff to choose from a variety of apparel styles and sizes, ensuring everyone could select something that fit their preference while maintaining the anniversary branding. Premium Custom Apparel Details What set this project apart were the elevated design details included in each piece. For this custom order, sublimated branding was applied inside the collar, creating a subtle detail that enhances the garment without overpowering the design. This sublimation can also be used in hoodie linings and shirt cuffs depending on the design goals. These hidden details turn standard corporate apparel into something more memorable. We also incorporated custom zipper pulls, which elevated the overall look and feel of the collection. The company store model allowed flexibility in ordering. With a minimum order of 24 pieces, Lewis & Knopf was able to mix and match apparel styles while still meeting production requirements, making it easier to offer variety without committing to one bulk item.

In a world full of branded merchandise, it takes something different to capture attention and make a lasting impression. That’s where Solar Ink comes in. SolarPro Ink is a unique printing technique that keeps your design nearly invisible indoors. Once exposed to sunlight or UV light, the graphic suddenly appears in full color. It feels unexpected, interactive, and memorable.

When it comes to promotional apparel, the details really do matter. One of the best ways to elevate a sweatshirt or hoodie is through raised embroidery, a technique that gives logos a bold, dimensional look you can see and feel. We recently created a custom zip-up hoodie for the Maryville Retreat Center using raised embroidered logo detailing. The result was a piece that didn’t just display their brand, it brought it to life through texture and craftsmanship. For Maryville Retreat Center, the goal was to create apparel that felt welcoming, durable, and aligned with their mission. The raised embroidered zip-up hoodie achieved that balance, offering a clean design with just enough texture to make it feel special. It works well for staff, volunteers, and guests, making it both functional and meaningful. What Is Raised Embroidery? Raised embroidery, sometimes called 3D or puff embroidery, uses specialized stitching and sometimes a foam base to lift parts of a design off the fabric. Instead of lying flat like print, the logo stands up from the garment, creating depth and texture. It’s a simple technique that instantly makes apparel feel more premium and intentional. Why Raised Embroidery Works So Well It elevates the look and feel Raised embroidery adds instant dimension, which naturally makes apparel feel higher quality. Even simple logos look more refined when they have texture and depth. It creates a strong first impression Because the design physically stands off the garment, it catches light differently and stands out without needing bold colors or oversized artwork. It’s built to last Embroidery is stitched into the fabric, not sitting on top of it. That means no peeling or cracking over time, even with regular wear and washing. It works especially well on hoodies and sweatshirts Heavier fabrics like fleece hold embroidery well, allowing the raised stitching to stay clean and structured. It helps strengthen brand recognition A textured logo becomes more noticeable and memorable, helping your brand stand out in everyday settings. Raised embroidery turns apparel into something people actually notice and remember. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference in how your brand is perceived.
