Convivial Life is the solid underpinning of our community. Convivial is a Florida not-for-profit mission-driven organization governed by an accomplished volunteer board of trustees dedicated to creating vibrant senior living communities throughout Florida and enhancing the lives of those we serve—our residents, staff, and local communities.

Convivial is exempt from federal income taxes as a 501(c)(3) organization for the purpose of owning and operating a system of continuing care communities, healthcare, and other supportive services for senior adults. We cherish creating long-lasting relationships with members, associates, their families, and our fellow neighbors as we make a meaningful impact in the local community and around the globe.

No. As a not-for-profit organization, Convivial has no shareholders and no part of the net earnings of Convivial or its affiliates may inure to the individual benefit of any trustee, officer, or other individual, except that reasonable compensation is paid for services rendered in carrying out one or more of Convivial’s purposes. Convivial uses its governing policies and legal advisors to assure compliance in managing best practices in its not-for-profit mission.

The President & CEO of LifeStar reports directly to Convivial’s Board under a professional services agreement to oversee the ongoing operations of the community, including marketing and sales, legal and regulatory compliance, accounting and financial reporting, employee-employer matters, preparing Board-approved annual budgets and interim projections, directing capital projects, employing the personnel of the community, organizing, reconciling, and managing the company’s records, serving as registered agent and owner’s representative, facilitating deposits and procuring the payment for the ongoing obligations and liabilities of Convivial, working with the Board’s third-party auditor to prepare fiscal year audits and ensure internal controls are monitored and improved at each community, and securing qualified and competitive insurances for the community and operations.

Convivial maintains financial transparency with its stakeholders, including members and staff at the community. Quarterly meetings are held at the community to discuss the ongoing fiscal operations and organizational plans, including master plans for the community.

While Convivial is a support organization to New International, Inc., a global not-for-profit Christian missionary agency, we love to enjoy life and honor residents and employees of all faiths and backgrounds. We do not require anyone to be of a specific religious affiliation to live or work at Jacaranda Trace.
