About Unisen

Unisen Senior Living in Tampa, Florida is a not-for-profit lifecare retirement community dedicated to providing its active residents with exceptional value, enriching lifestyle choices and the confidence that they have the best plans in place for their health and financial futures.

The Unisen Story

Formerly known as University Village, plans for a $25 million renovation project began as soon as Unisen’s life care retirement community was acquired by not-for-profit entity, Tampa Life Plan Village, in July 2020. The community’s “extreme makeover” includes its 445 apartments and 46 villas, as well as indoor and outdoor spaces and amenities.

As the community’s operating organization, Tampa Life Plan Village partnered with leading senior housing developer, Big Rock Senior Housing Management, to make the acquisition of Unisen possible. Executive Director, Diane Beri, leads our continuing care retirement community’s on-site, day-to-day operations.

More than anything, we are dedicated to fostering strong, resident-directed lifestyle programs, as well as resources and services that offer residents the best in modern, wellness-focused retirement living.

Tampa Life Plan Village is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization specializing in healthcare, housing and support services for Tampa Florida’s seniors.

As such, Tampa Life Plan Village oversees operations at Unisen and is the driving force behind the $25-million-dollar renovation taking place at this lifecare retirement community serving seniors living in West Florida.

The Tampa Life Plan Village non-profit operator is led by an active board including the following members:
