Acquisition Underscores Tutera's Commitment to Delivering Exceptional Care to More Seniors.

New Ridgeland Senior Living – set to open in early spring – will offer assisted living and memory care.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Tutera Senior Living & Health Care, one of the nation's leading senior care providers, has acquired Ridgeland Senior Living, an upscale community in Matteson, Illinois, outside of Chicago. The community, built in 2021 for $21 million, formerly operated under the name Alexi Senior Living for eight months until it closed in 2022. Tutera is making improvements and will reopen the community in early spring.

The 81,589 square foot development located at 6301 Lincoln Highway in Matteson offers 55 assisted living and 20 memory care units on 5.5 acres.
