LONG BEACH, CA(July 17, 2013) – Meta Housing Corporation has

The community, which is designed to deliver a completely
artistic environment, has already been recognized as “Best Senior Housing
Community of 2013” by PCBC’s Golden Nugget Awards, according to John Huskey,
President of Meta Housing Corporation.
“Development of today’s senior housing requires a completely
different approach than that of generations past,” explained Huskey. “Americans
are living longer, healthier lives, and are in need of housing that will
provide new opportunities to increase longevity and sustain good health.”
Huskey explains that the senior art colony concept that Meta
Housing Corporation has pioneered is designed to deliver these benefits. The company has also developed the Burbank
Senior Artists Colony, a 141-unit multifamily property completed in 2006,
as well as the North Hollywood Senior Arts Colony, a 126-unit apartment
community completed in late 2012.

“Drawing upon national research on how the arts can
positively impact the health of older individuals, we have designed each of our
arts-focused senior apartment communities to include spaces where residents can
participate in free, professional-level arts activities on an ongoing basis,”
explained Huskey.
The new Long Beach Senior Arts Colony features a host of
on-site arts amenities, including an art gallery, 99-seat performance theatre,
working arts and dance studios, as well as a digital media room and grand piano
salon. On-site arts classes are offered
at no cost to residents, and are conducted by Meta Housing Corporation’s long
time nonprofit partner, EngAGE.
