  Via Elegante is a beautiful community, and I really appreciate the effort that goes into providing activities and entertainment for the residents. However, after attending activities with my aunt and talking to residents families, followed by looking through the activity calendars, I have noticed an area where I believe there is significant room for improvement: cultural representation and inclusivity within the activities and entertainment offered. I have noticed that a large majority of the performers and musical entertainment seem to focus on music that primarily appeals to the White majority of the community. I completely understand that certain performers and genres will naturally be part of the activity schedule, and I am not suggesting that those should be removed. However, I do believe there should be a much better balance that allows residents of different racial and cultural backgrounds to see themselves represented and enjoy the activities as well. For example, I have noticed that there is very little representation of Black culture, Hispanic/Latino culture, or other communities of color in the entertainment, activities, and calendars. This includes culturally significant holidays and events. When the majority of the music consists of songs that residents from certain backgrounds may not recognize or connect with, it can unintentionally make other residents feel excluded. I have also noticed that many residents of color do not seem to participate in some of these events, which makes me wonder whether the lack of cultural representation is contributing to that. I believe an assisted living community should be a place where every resident feels seen, respected, and included, regardless of their race or cultural background. Residents should have opportunities to listen to music from different cultures, celebrate different traditions, and participate in activities that reflect the diversity of the people who call the community home. Especially because many

  The staff at the Tucson Via Elegante is wonderful and so good with my mother-in-law who is disabled from a stroke and suffers from dementia. My grandmother with dementia was in the Sierra Vista Via Elegante and they were just lovely with her too. They helped us navigate Medicare and insurance to get her covered and settled in. Both locations are beautifully kept with gorgeous views of the desert.
