Lifesprk and Tealwood Senior Living Partner as Lifesprk Senior Living

Posted on May 19, 2021 by Libbie Chapuran

Lifesprk and Tealwood Senior Living have partnered to bring 35 senior living properties across multiple states under Lifesprk Senior Living.

"The current senior housing market, accelerated by the pandemic, created significant opportunity to provide a markedly different approach to senior living," said Joel Theisen, RN, BSN, Lifesprk CEO.

"Both Lifesprk and Tealwood are well-positioned to seize that opportunity by joining forces to serve seniors more fully, connecting them to everything they need in one system to age magnificently and transform the way people experience senior living right now."

Dr. Bill Thomas, an internationally renowned geriatrician and Lifesprk's Independence Officer, is a key architect in designing the holistic model that will deliver this new experience under Lifesprk Senior Living. Dr. Thomas is also the founder of The Green House Project and Eden Alternative, whose efforts respectively focused on partnering with senior living providers to create person-directed, relationship-rich living environments and shifting the care paradigm towards a more collaborative partnership.

Integration plans for the 35 Tealwood properties to Lifesprk Senior Living are underway, spanning the Upper Mid-West. Lifesprk Senior Living is already working on plans for new senior living contracts and properties.
