The Springs Living President Brenda Connelly joins KATU's AM Northwest to share how 30 years of purpose-driven senior living continues to inspire new approaches to healthcare and support for older adults and their families.
For 30 years, The Springs Living has been guided by a promise made by founder Fee Stubblefield to his grandmother: to help older adults live life on their own terms. As Brenda shared during her recent appearance on KATU's AM Northwest, that commitment continues to drive innovation and shape how The Springs Living supports residents and families.
Through a new partnership with SCAN Health Plan, The Springs Living is introducing a Medicare Advantage plan designed exclusively for eligible residents in its Portland-area communities.
The partnership brings together healthcare professionals and community teams to create a more coordinated, proactive approach to care. By emphasizing prevention, wellness, and easier access to healthcare, the goal is to help residents spend less time navigating a complicated healthcare system and more time enjoying life.
That same commitment to making life easier extends to families exploring senior living options.
The Springs Living's Senior Living Journey Guide offers practical information about independent living, assisted living, and the important questions families should consider when planning for the future.
Brenda emphasized the value of beginning these conversations early, before a crisis makes decisions more difficult. The Springs Living team is also available to answer questions and provide guidance, even for families who may ultimately choose another community.
After 30 years, the mission remains the same: helping older adults and their families navigate life's changes with confidence, connection, and support.
