Last week, over 50 seniors gathered for the first-ever Camp Joy, Lifespark's overnight summer camp—and what a joy it was!

There were shared dinners and shared stories, pontoon boat rides, arts and crafts, bucket-list adventures, and evenings around the campfire. Friendships sparked, and memories were made.

We are incredibly grateful for the sponsors, team members, and seniors who made this all possible.

Thank you for bringing your spark and for an unforgettable Camp Joy! 💜

There's no doubt that flowers brighten a room, and Minnesota non-profit Bluebirds & Blooms is helping spread that joy, one bouquet at a time.

Since its founding in 2018, the organization has repurposed donated flowers into bouquets, delivering more than 150,000 arrangements to residents in memory care, hospice, and other care communities.

As a sponsor of Bluebirds & Blooms, Lifespark Hospice, with the help of Lifespark Skilled Home Health and our Core Services Community Liaisons, was lucky enough to hand-deliver bouquets to seniors in our communities earlier this month.

What a delight to connect with an organization that shares our passion for fostering connections and bringing joy to residents in senior communities.

Thank you, Bluebirds & Blooms, for helping make these special moments possible! 💜💐

caring for our clients and residents—thank you. It’s each and every one of you
who makes Lifespark’s culture so special, and we’re incredibly grateful for all

While our team members and seniors get ready for Camp Joy — our overnight summer camp for seniors — we want to take a moment to celebrate the intergenerational summer camps happening across our senior living communities.

Several Lifespark communities welcomed children for summer day camps, complete with crafts, games, sports, treats, hugs, and connections!

The smiles say it all.

We can't wait to see the joy, friendships, and memories Camp Joy will bring this week!

This , we're celebrating the sponsors helping make Camp Joy, our senior summer camp, possible. ☀️🏕️

For some seniors, camping getaways can feel out of reach due to mobility, health, or financial barriers. But this week, thanks to the support of New Horizon Foods, Inc., TSOLife, Healthcare Services Group, Inc., LTC REIT, Martin Bros. Distributing, and our other generous sponsors, seniors will participate in an accessible camping experience filled with fresh air, laughter, storytelling, and music around the fire, and time on the water.

We can't wait to share more of the joy, belonging, and adventure from our summer camp this week.

Thank you again, sponsors, for being truly magnificent!

We're honored to be featured in the American Senior Housing Association's second installment of the Senior Living Profiles series! 🎉

This story traces Lifespark's journey back to the 1990s, when CEO Joel Theisen, working as a nurse on the frontlines, witnessed the challenges seniors face and set out to create a better aging experience.

Today, Lifespark serves seniors across more than 50 communities, with a mix of assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing facilities—and plans to continue growing beyond Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Read on for the full feature.

Every month at Lifespark, our leaders host a workshop for new employees to introduce our culture, approach, values, and mindset.

New team members gather for this all-day event to hear about the Lifespark ecosystem, history, and vision, with appearances from our core leaders and executive team.

It's a magnificent day, and we can't wait to see this group inspire our Lifespark community. 💜

Kari's journey with Lifespark began during one of life's most difficult moments.

When her grandmother was in hospice care, Kari experienced firsthand the care and support the hospice team provides to the client—and their family.

That positive experience during an otherwise challenging time inspired Kari to become a Lifespark Hospice Volunteer. After serving over two years as a volunteer, she became the Hospice Volunteer Coordinator at Lifespark.

Thank you, Kari, for sharing your story.
