The Mariner - Gracious Senior Living in a New England Seaside Setting



After serving several years as the vice president of operations for Healthcare Services Group (HSG) in Philadelphia, Joseph Cuzzupoli founded Summit Services Group in 1991. He grew Summit into a major presence in the industry, ultimately selling it to HSG in 2007. Today he heads the VI Group, a private investment company that focuses on companies in healthcare as well as real estate. Joseph Cuzzupoli also sits on the boards of several healthcare companies, including Covenant Healthcare, Quality Rehabilitation, Summit Service Group, and The Mariner.

Situated on 4.5 acres in the heart of historical Marblehead, Massachusetts, The Mariner is a proposed senior living facility with three levels of accommodations:

- Memory care, designed for those with Alzheimer’s or dementia, offers the highest level of care in a safe and secure environment.

- Assisted living is for seniors whose cognitive skills aren’t impaired, but who need some help with some of the activities of daily living, including household management and personal care.

- Independent Living is for seniors who still have the full use of their mental and physical faculties, and who prefer to live in a maintenance-free environment.

The Mariner will provide a mix of studios, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom apartments with a total of 108 beds. It will offer its residents a broad range of amenities, including a full-service dining room as well as private dining, a cafe, lounge and theater, care and wellness facility, beauty salon, barber shop, and an activities center. Other services include a library and a brain gym.

Designed by a small group of area developers who value Marblehead’s unique charm and historical significance as a Massachusetts seaside community, The Mariner will reflect traditional area themes, including classic New England shingle design.
