Dr Ilitch was born and raised in Mexico, he came to the U.S. with a passion for helping others. He was deeply impacted by the way many older adults were placed in large nursing homes, often far from the love and attention of their families. This inspired a mission: to create smaller, high-quality, homelike environments for assisted living and memory care.
Their journey began five years ago with countless challenges—from zoning regulations to securing financing. Thanks to Royal Credit Union, Ria and Dr. Ilitch were able to obtain the support and business loan we needed. Their team has been with us every step of the way, offering a smooth, supportive, and professional experience. From setting up a line of credit to using online banking tools, Royal Credit Union has empowered us as entrepreneurs to focus on what truly matters: caring for our community.
