Get Started

One phone call.
That is the whole first step.

No forms to complete, no assessment to pass, no intake department. You speak with Mac or Laura, privately, about what is actually going on.

Call (954) 355-2040

Someone will speak with you privately and respectfully. If it is easier to write first, email office@macandmacgroup.com.

Call (954) 355-2040

Four steps, and
none of them are paperwork.

1

You call, or we call you

Reach us at (954) 355-2040, or send a short message and we will call you back. Nothing you say on this call goes anywhere else.

2

A private conversation with Mac or Laura

One of the founders speaks with you directly about what is actually happening. This is where fit gets decided — in both directions. They will tell you honestly if Vita Nova is not right for your situation.

3

Program and arrangements

You choose a length together — 14, 30, 60, 90 days, or custom. Payment is completed before arrival, and an arrival date is set.

4

A private car comes to your door

You arrive at a home, not a facility. Mac and Laura meet you at the entrance. Your room is prepared with your name, flowers, and a handwritten note. From that moment, you are family.

Calling about someone else
is not going behind their back.

A large share of first calls come from someone other than the person who would be coming — a wife, a husband, a parent, an adult child. If that is you, you are not doing anything wrong by making the call.

Mac and Laura will talk with you about how to open the conversation, what tends to help, and what tends to backfire. They have been on both sides of this and they will not hand you a script.

“Before you enter the residence, Mac or Laura will speak with you directly to make sure Vita Nova is the right fit.”

Before you call

Who answers when I call?

Someone who can actually speak with you about your situation privately and respectfully. Before anyone comes to the residence, Mac or Laura speak with them directly — not an intake coordinator working from a script.

What happens on the first call?

A real conversation about what is going on. No forms, no assessment questionnaire, no pressure. The purpose is to understand your situation and determine honestly whether Vita Nova is the right fit.

Can a family member call on someone else’s behalf?

Yes, and frequently they do. Many first calls come from a spouse, parent, or adult child. Mac and Laura will talk with you about how to approach the conversation with the person you are worried about.

How quickly can someone arrive?

When someone is ready, we move quickly — often within days. A private car is dispatched to your door once the fit conversation is complete and payment is arranged.

Is everyone accepted?

No. Vita Nova is a private home with a maximum of eight guests, and we only accept people who are ready and a genuine fit. We are not trying to fill beds. Guests must be 21 or over and medically stable on arrival.

Where is Vita Nova located?

The primary residence is in the Fort Lauderdale area of South Florida and operates year-round. Residences in Wilmington, North Carolina and Lake Tahoe are available selectively. The exact address is shared privately once someone is confirmed.

Vita Nova is a private wellness residence and personal coaching program for adults 21 and over. All guests are medically stable on arrival.
