        Our story

        A lifetime of stories. A place to belong.

        Saga began with a family’s experience of care. When Chris Coulter’s father, Jack, was living with dementia, his care fell short of what he deserved. Chris founded Saga with a commitment to knowing each resident as a person: their needs, their routines and the life they want to keep living.

        At Novellus Clairemont, that commitment means understanding each resident's routines and respecting their choices as support needs change.
