What Thrive Members Say

Real people. Real connections.

"Thrive is much more than a group for people over 50. It’s a community that celebrates curiosity, health, friendship, and purpose. I enjoy being around people who are excited to keep learning, giving back, and making the most of every stage of life. That’s what makes Thrive such a special place for me!"

"I bought a VR headset a few years ago and wasn’t sure what to do with it. I then found Thrive Pavilion, a community of seniors. I have found many wonderful people here and have made many friends that I do lots of various activities with. One big thing is taking up acting, something I never imagined myself doing in retirement. I’m having the time of my life at it! Best part is, I don’t have to go anywhere to be with my new friends."

"When I retired I was also pretty sick. I was on oxygen and walked with a walker. I was fairly limited as to what I could do. And then my sister introduced me to the meta headset. She has since stopped playing (as she's raising her granddaughter) but I found Thrive and my own friends to play with! We have a lot of fun doing crazy things like play fairies, catch monsters, and live in a medieval village! I gradually got better physically and still love to play with my friends. Thanks so much to Thrive!."
