River Landing at Sandy Ridge Continuing Care Retirement Community

At River Landing, our team members are more than employees—they’re the heart of our community. That’s why we’re proud to invest in their futures through our Employee Scholarship Program.

This year, 40 team members received scholarships totaling $46,000 to pursue their educational dreams—from nursing and law to engineering, education and beyond. Even more inspiring, every single applicant was awarded a scholarship.

Thanks to the generosity of our residents, this program has grown tremendously over the past nine years, creating opportunities for team members to learn, grow and advance in their careers. It’s one of the many ways River Landing continues to be a place where people come to work, thrive and feel supported every step of the way.

Last Friday, we enjoyed a special time of dedication honoring and remembering Dick and Walena Morse and their faithful commitment to River Landing at Sandy Ridge.

In 2024, Dick humbly made an incredibly generous gift to Brightspire Foundation in memory of his loving wife for the benefit of our memory care household, St. Andrews, the place she called "home" in her final years. Inspired by the care she received, Dick was enthusiastic about supporting this area of his community which provided peace and comfort to his family.

While instrumental in the renovation process, Dick was adamant his efforts remained anonymous until after his lifetime. We are grateful for the Morses and the impact Dick's gift will have for residents and families, now and for years to come. Brightspire Foundation is honored to partner with donors to dedicate meaningful spaces, establishing a legacy of compassion for future generations.

A group of River Landing residents recently returned from the journey of a lifetime—a two-week Tauck River Cruise experience that began in London, continued through Paris, and sailed the Seine River to the historic beaches of Normandy. This incredible adventure—organized with care and excitement by a few passionate residents—was a perfect reminder that adventure is out there!
