When you step into a luxury senior living community, it’s easy to focus on the beautiful finishes, thoughtful amenities and interesting lifestyle programming. But behind every exceptional community is something even more important: a strong, experienced organization guiding it. For six operational retirement communities, and four additional communities currently in development across the U.S., that organization is Momentum Senior Living.
For residents and their families, the community name on the sign out front is only part of the story. The organization behind the name plays a critical role in shaping daily life for residents.
A Foundation Built on Experience
Founded in 2018, Momentum’s leadership brings decades of experience in senior housing operations, development and innovation. Josh Johnson, chief executive officer, has worked with communities in this country and abroad and brings 30 years of senior living experience to Momentum.
“We continue to be ardently committed to creating fulfilling experiences for seniors,” Johnson says. “A passion for quality in the communities we create and excellence in the care they provide drives me and my team to do the work we do.”
The “work” he mentions includes everything from community design and development to day-to-day operations, resident experience and quality of care.
For Momentum’s chief operating officer, Gilbert Carrasco, meeting the evolving needs of seniors means combining time-tested practices with new and creative solutions.
“Seniors, just like the rest of us, have a variety of preferences, needs and requirements when it comes to where they live,” Carrasco says. “Inspiring them to become a resident in one of our communities is an honor we take very seriously. We put incredible thought and planning into every detail of a project. From the layout of a new building to the amenities that will support residents throughout their day.”

- Dining, programming and lifestyle offerings
- Quality of care and services
- Staff training and culture
- Long-term financial stability of the community
An Inspired Approach in California’s Tri-Valley Region
At its core, Momentum Senior Living is focused on creating communities that support the whole person: mind, body and spirit. At The Whitford, this philosophy is coming to life through elevated design, curated experiences, and a strong emphasis on connection and well-being in senior living, assisted living and memory care.
Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Momentum emphasizes localized excellence, meaning they focus on quality at the community level, ensuring each property delivers a distinct and exceptional lifestyle.
The Momentum Difference
Momentum Senior Living combines entrepreneurial agility with deep industry knowledge. With a focus on resident satisfaction, employee culture and financial stability, the company is positioned to create communities that are not only beautiful, but truly livable.
For those exploring senior living options — whether that’s senior living, assisted living or memory care — understanding who stands behind a community can make all the difference. With Momentum, that foundation is one of experience and a commitment to creating environments where older adults can thrive.
