FORT WORTH, TEXAS, September 21, 2021 – Tradition Senior Living, LP, a privately-owned, developer and operator of high-end senior living communities in Texas, today announced the groundbreaking of The Tradition-Clearfork in Fort Worth. The new luxury, rental retirement community will offer residents exceptional amenities and services and is the most recent residential option to the Clearfork mixed-use development.
Located on approximately six acres along the Trinity River with miles of walking trails, the nine-story independent living community is being constructed at 5755 Clearfork Main Street. A five-story assisted living and memory care community, located on the same site, will front 3033 Acme Brick Plaza. A soft opening is scheduled for spring 2023, with final completion slated for summer 2023.
Ideally situated in the heart of Fort Worth, The Tradition-Clearfork marks a new phase of residential growth in the 270-acre Clearfork mixed-use development, which includes the popular Shops at Clearfork, exciting dining and entertainment, living and office destinations, and ample green spaces.
“We are very excited to partner with the Edwards family in one of my favorite Texas cities,” said Jonathan Perlman, Sr., Founder and CEO of Tradition Senior Living, LP. “Our Houston and Dallas locations have enjoyed tremendous success, and our residents are very proud to call The Tradition their home. We look forward to providing our residents with a lifestyle and community that takes advantage of this amazing location.”
The Tradition-Clearfork is the fifth community developed by the family-owned, Texas-based company, which was founded by Jonathan Perlman, Sr., and now includes his sons Jonathan, Jr., and Holt Perlman, who are integral members of The Tradition executive team.
Featuring resort-style living with ultra-inclusive services, The Tradition-Clearfork will be home to 214 large one- and two-bedroom independent living residences with private balconies, 95 one- and two-bedroom assisted living and memory care residences, and three furnished suites for residents’ overnight guests. Units range from 880 square-feet to 2,200 square-feet. At Clearfork, The Tradition will continue its more than eleven years of successfully operating strictly as a rental community with no large buy-in fee. Residents will have access to 24-hour concierge, valet, secure parking, and transportation options. Elegantly decorated, light-filled common areas will include lounges, card rooms, a movie theater, and common areas for daily social activities and wellness programs. Restaurants will offer chef-driven a la carte menus, a refined wine list, and signature cocktails. Comprehensive fitness areas will include an indoor pool, a weight room, and a group-exercise room for classes taught by in-house fitness instructors. Outdoor areas will feature lush landscaping, ample gathering areas, and a dog park. Security features include IP cameras, an electronic visitor management system, an access-controlled garage, and an innovative emergency response system. But the community’s most underestimated security amenity will be the natural gas generators that provide electrical backup for the entire community.
Conveniently located near the Texas Health Medical Center, The Tradition-Clearfork is two miles west of Texas Christian University, two miles south of Westover Hills, and a short drive to downtown Fort Worth.

Aging brings changes to both body and mind, making brain health an essential part of overall well-being. While some cognitive decline is a natural part of aging, research suggests that lifestyle choices can help support mental sharpness and long-term wellness. More seniors and their families are prioritizing holistic approaches to brain health, seeking ways to promote cognitive function and maintain an active, fulfilling life.
The Role of Lifestyle in Brain Health
Maintaining cognitive function isn’t about a single solution—it’s about adopting a lifestyle that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit. From nutrition to movement, sleep, and social engagement, several key factors play a role in promoting brain health and overall longevity.
A Diet That Fuels the Mind
Nutrition plays a powerful role in supporting brain function. Diets rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and essential nutrients may contribute to cognitive resilience. The Mediterranean and MIND (Mediterranean-DASH Diet Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay) diets emphasize:
- Leafy greens, berries, and colorful vegetables
- Whole grains, nuts, and legumes
- Healthy fats like olive oil and omega-3-rich fish
Incorporating these foods into daily meals can provide essential nutrients that contribute to overall well-being.
Keeping the Mind Active
Lifelong learning and mental stimulation are key to cognitive health. Engaging in activities that challenge the brain—such as reading, solving puzzles, learning a new skill, or exploring creative hobbies—can help keep the mind sharp. Structured programs like educational workshops, guest lectures, and discussion groups encourage ongoing learning and cognitive engagement.
The Connection Between Movement and Memory
Physical activity is often linked to better cognitive function. Exercise may improve blood flow to the brain, encourage neuroplasticity, and support overall health. Simple yet effective activities include:
- Walking, yoga, and low-impact strength training to support mobility and coordination
- Group fitness classes that provide both physical and social benefits
Staying active doesn’t just strengthen the body—it can also promote brain health and overall vitality.
The Power of Restful Sleep
Sleep is essential for memory retention and cognitive repair. Good sleep hygiene can help support mental clarity and emotional well-being. Establishing healthy sleep habits may include:
- Maintaining a consistent bedtime routine
- Reducing screen time and blue light exposure before bed
- Practicing relaxation techniques such as meditation or deep breathing
Prioritizing restful sleep can enhance overall cognitive resilience and daily functioning.
Social Engagement and Emotional Well-being
Strong social connections are vital for mental and emotional health. Engaging in meaningful conversations, participating in group activities, and maintaining close relationships can help seniors feel connected and purposeful. Whether through family gatherings, community events, or interest-based clubs, staying socially engaged can provide a sense of belonging and cognitive stimulation.
Managing Stress for Mental Clarity
Chronic stress can have an impact on brain health. Incorporating mindfulness practices—such as meditation, deep breathing, or engaging in relaxing activities like gardening or music—can help reduce stress and promote emotional balance.
Creating a Supportive Environment for Brain Health
As seniors and their families explore living options, many are looking for communities that prioritize a holistic approach to wellness. A setting that fosters healthy dining, engaging activities, and social connection can contribute to cognitive and emotional well-being.
At The Tradition, we recognize that overall wellness extends beyond just physical health. Our communities provide opportunities for residents to stay active, connected, and engaged—encouraging a lifestyle that supports both body and mind. If you or a loved one are beginning the search for senior living, we invite you to explore how The Tradition fosters a fulfilling and enriching way of life.
