A Tribute to Lifelong Friendship

Some friendships begin in the most unexpected places: a shared dinner table on a cruise, a spontaneous road trip, or even a community tour. For four residents at The Springs at Tanasbourne, what started as casual conversation turned into decades of adventure, laughter, and unwavering support.

From exploring every U.S. state and steering a canal boat in England to simply living two doors apart in retirement, their story is a beautiful reminder that true friendship only deepens with time.

At The Springs Living, we’re honored to be part of their journey, proof that joy, connection, and belonging are always within reach when you're surrounded by the right people.

✨ 2025 Spark Award Winners ✨
Where there’s a spark, there’s a better way and this year three innovators lit up our communities:

Josh Rambeau, Dining Services Lead – The Springs at Lake Oswego
Turned meal service into a symphony: a delivery-binder for 30+ residents, pocket “service cards” with specials & duties, and server scheduling system that keeps things on budget.

Ron Shipman, Fitness & Wellness Coach – The Springs at Clackamas Woods
Reimagined wellness with weekly “Fitness Labs,” quarterly community-wide challenges, and 10-minute staff workouts that make movement contagious from the gym to the break room.

Katelynn Wolff, Life Enrichment Assistant – The Springs at Missoula
Sparked the Kindness Krew, weaving volunteerism into daily life walking with Memory Care on The Longest Day and stocking backpacks for local kids—proving service can ripple far beyond our walls.

Together, Josh, Ron, and Katelynn show that innovation isn’t a department it’s a mindset that lifts every plate, heartbeat, and act of kindness. Join us in cheering them on!

Doing One Thing at The Springs Living means letting compassion guide every decision that shapes life in our communities. This year, nominations from residents and families poured in, each one spotlighting a teammate who makes quality shine. Rising to the top was a story poured straight from the heart.

Meet Michael Robbins, bartender at The Springs at Happy Valley and guardian angel behind the bar. Michael doesn't just remember favorite cocktails; he remembers favorite stories. When a resident began choking, he calmly delivered the Heimlich and saved their life. Weeks later he noticed another guest’s speech change mid-order, alerted the team, and had 911 on the way within moments.

Yet ask anyone and they’ll say Michael’s real superpower is the everyday stuff: the warm greeting that starts dinner service, the listening ear, the way he makes every person feel like the only person in the room.

Michael, thank you for living One Thing every day and reminding us that quality starts with heart. Raise a glass to our 2025 One Thing Award winner!

He is frequently asked to train others, always with kindness and a calm demeanor, making sure every task is done right. His actions speak volumes, and he truly lives out the spirit of caring for others, even when no one is watching.

Congratulations, Anthony, on receiving this well-deserved recognition! Your kindness and hard work inspire us all.

This June, we proudly celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month to honor the history, resilience, and joy of the LGBTQ+ community. At The Springs Living, we believe that all residents and team members deserve to feel seen, respected, and welcomed for who they are.

Their courage and perseverance paved the way for the freedoms many enjoy today, and we are honored to serve them as they contribute to the enriching experiences in our communities.
