About Advena Living Communities
Advena Living Communities (branded simply as Advena Living) is a family‑owned company providing skilled‑nursing and long‑term care, with additional services such as assisted‑living and healthcare staffing. The name “Advena” is Latin for “newcomer,” underscoring a philosophy of welcoming residents and preserving personal choice in a homelike environment.
The organization traces its most visible rebranding back to 2021, when Cornerstone Healthcare Solutions transitioned to the Advena Living name, unifying six continuing‑care and community living facilities across Kansas under the new brand. During that announcement, Willie Novotny was identified as CEO and Michelle Novotny as EVP/CNO.
Advena Living operates six skilled‑nursing facilities across rural and urban communities throughout Kansas. Locations include Rose Hill, Cherryvale, Bonner Springs, Clearwater, Topeka (on Tenth), and Wichita (Woodlawn), with each facility providing various levels of care under one operator.
Ownership and corporate structure appear to be privately held and family‑centered. The chain is family‑owned (Novotny family) and operates as a for‑profit business under a combination of corporate entities (some facilities under LLC, some under corporation) and remains independent of REIT or public equity structures.
Advena Living also runs a staffing subsidiary—Advena Healthcare Staffing—to support its own communities and external healthcare clients.
