Included in the Blueprints for Senior Living e-newsletter.

When someone strolls into The Mather, its distinctive features immediately stand out. Bright, sunny oranges are stacked tastefully in tall, cylindrical glass vases at the front desk. From the drawing room fireplace, an immaculate, horizontal row of aesthetically spaced flames glow invitingly. It’s the little things that create a bigger picture, and sign design and placement throughout our residence are no exception. Our signs tell a story—a story that begins with our founder Alonzo Mather, a humanitarian and innovator who worked to break down the barriers of aging more than 70 years ago.
