MBK Senior Living

What MBK Senior Living does

MBK Senior Living, LLC is a privately held operator of senior living communities headquartered in Irvine, California, providing Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Respite/Short-term Care services to seniors across 39 owned and managed communities throughout the Western United States, with geographic concentration in California, Arizona, and Washington. The company operates as part of MBK Real Estate LLC, with MSL Community Management, LLC as an affiliated operating entity. Founded in 1990 and led by President Jeff Fischer, the company employs between 251 and 500 staff and serves residents through a recurring monthly subscription revenue model, with per-resident pricing varying by care level (Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care) and unit type. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via on-site community tours, community Executive Directors, a corporate sales team, and a dedicated Regional Director of Sales and Operations function for new acquisitions.

The company's differentiated offering centers on a portfolio of signature programs: the Mind + Body Wellness program (integrating a 2025 partnership with Thinkie Inc. for wearable-sensor cognitive training), Connections for Living memory care programming, the resident-driven Adventurer's Club, the Yoi Shigoto Gives Back philanthropic initiative, and resort-style amenities. Its go-to-market combines owned-and-operated communities with management contracts (e.g., the 2025 San Clemente Villas by the Sea assumption, a 140-unit community) and an inbound marketing engine consisting of a content blog, podcast, monthly caregiver-facing webinars, and community events. Operational quality has been externally validated by 2025 U.S. News & World Report Best Assisted Living and Best Memory Care designations, the ICAA NuStep Beacon Award (The Reserve at Thousand Oaks), Best Places to Work in Orange County, and a deficiency-free California Department of Public Health survey for Almond Heights.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Pricing is quote-based and varies by location, unit, and care level, with Memory Care commanding premium pricing relative to Independent Living and Assisted Living. There are no external institutional investors or public shareholders identified; ownership has remained within the MBK investment group since founding. The company maintains a mobile application (iOS), a careers portal on Workday, and a stated commitment to WCAG 2.2 Level AA web accessibility conformance.
