Discovery Senior Living Appoints President of Arvum and SummerHouse Senior Living

Bonita Spring, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - August 18, 2025) - Discovery Senior Living ("Discovery" or the "Company") one of the largest and most trusted senior housing operators in the U.S., is pleased to announce the appointment of Richard Totorico as President of Arvum and SummerHouse Senior Living, effective immediately.

Richard's career with Discovery began nearly a decade ago when he joined The Trace as Executive Director in 2013, a community later acquired by Discovery in 2016. Since then, he has advanced steadily through the organization, rising from Executive Director to Regional Director of Operations, then COO of Arvum/SummerHouse, and now President.

During his tenure, Richard has overseen a broad portfolio of 52 communities across 17 states, managing operations and performance on behalf of 12 different capital ownership groups. His deep operational expertise, paired with a strong commitment to resident care and stakeholder alignment, has made him a trusted leader within the Discovery platform and a proven performer for ownership partners.

Over the last 18 months, Richard played a pivotal role in launching Arvum Senior Living as a new management company under Discovery's growing portfolio. He recruited and developed a top-tier leadership team, and under his guidance, the performance metrics have been exceptional, including increasing Arvum's portfolio occupancy by 10%, maintaining a 94% average occupancy in the SummerHouse portfolio and doubled Net Operating Income across both portfolios.

With more than 30 years of healthcare and administration experience across acute care, public health systems, and senior living, Richard brings depth and versatility to his role. His story represents Discovery's long-standing commitment to nurturing internal talent, developing leaders, and creating an environment where professionals can grow into industry trailblazers.

"Richard's leadership has been instrumental in driving performance and building trusted relationships across our ownership groups," said Richard Hutchinson, CEO of Discovery Senior Living. "We are confident that under his continued leadership, the Arvum and SummerHouse portfolios will remain top-performing platforms. We are equally excited for the expansion opportunities ahead as we bring new communities into these high-performing brands."

For ownership groups seeking an aligned and proven operating partner, Discovery's model of performance-driven leadership, regionalized management companies with locally focused operators, and national scale continues to set the standard and ready to meet growing industry demand.
