Aligning with Rochester Regional Health, Wegman Companies has acquired The Village at Unity, a senior living facility on Long Pond Road in Greece.

The acquisition took place in partnership with a fund managed by Seattle’s Columbia Pacific Advisors. The Village at Unity will be managed by Leisure Care LLC, also based in Seattle. Founded in 1976, Leisure Care operates roughly 40 retirement communities in the U.S. The acquisition will include The Village at Unity, a 272 one- and two-bedroom facility for active seniors 62 or older, and the Hamlet at Park Ridge, located on the same campus. The Hamlet includes 40 assisted-living units and 20 units for residents with Alzheimer’s, dementia or other memory impairment.

The new management means integration of some of Leisure Care’s flagship offerings, including the Prime Fit health and fitness program, Rosetta Stone language courses and Travel by Leisure Care.

“We’re really looking forward to introducing these new offerings at The Village to help residents improve their lives,” said Jay Wegman of Wegman Companies, in a statement. “Leisure Care’s programs are second to none. This is just one reason we’ve chosen to partner with them as we continue expanding on the East Coast.”

While a large portion of Leisure Care’s portfolio is made up of facilities in Washington, Oregon and California, the company has become fairly diversified geographically, including facilities in Iowa, Arizona, Florida, Ohio, Missouri, Oklahoma, North Carolina, New Mexico, Maryland, Colorado and Utah. Aside from the Unity, the company also manages The Village at Mill Landing on Mill Road in Greece, which was acquired by Wegman and Columbia in 2017, the first facility purchased by the partnership. The two facilities make up the entirety of Leisure Care’s New York portfolio.

Mill Landing boasts 79 assisted living units and 55 memory care units.
