A Heartfelt Foundation
Saga is built on a heartfelt foundation of honoring everyone at every chapter of life. Transitioning to a new lifestyle is always a personal journey, and it was through the inspiring life and story of Jack Coulter that his son and our founder, Chris, was driven to build a network of support that values individual stories above all else.
Jack and Chris shared a lifelong connection, both as father and son, as well as close partners in real estate development. Jack’s journey with dementia left a profound impact on Chris, exemplifying the importance of seeing every person, embracing their strengths, and honoring their lifestyle. These experiences, and Jack’s ever-present legacy, laid the groundwork for what would become Saga: a place where everyone can find reliance, adventure, quality care, and meaningful relationships at every stage of their lives.
