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.

How Thoughtful Details Made Connor & Gabrielle's Celebration Unforgettable

September 21, 2026
When people think back on a wedding, they usually remember the big moments, the ceremony, the first dance, and the reception. But it's often the thoughtful details that make a big day feel even more special for both the couple and the people celebrating with them. This July, we had the chance to be part of another Macksood family wedding as Connor and Gabrielle tied the knot. After helping with Hannah and Reed's wedding, it was so much fun to work with the family again and create another collection of custom pieces for such a memorable day. From custom signage to personalized drinkware, every item added a little something to the celebration. A Wedding Full of Personal Touches Connor and Gabrielle wanted every part of their wedding to reflect their personalities, their style, and the story they wanted to tell. That's exactly what custom products can do. For their big day, we created custom pens, cups, napkins, a felt letter board sign, photo coasters featuring the couple, and an acrylic sign. We also created custom shirts and socks that added another fun, personalized element to the wedding festivities.

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.
