The Springs at Lancaster Village

10/23/2025

Founder & CEO Fee Stubblefield grew up at Lehman Hot Springs in eastern Oregon, which was purchased by his Grandpa Fancho Stubblefield 100 years ago, in 1925. It later became the namesake of The Springs Living. For decades, people from far and wide visited Lehman Hot Springs to soak in the hot springs and feel rejuvenated.

Today, The Springs Living is focused on metaphorically providing that healing and comforting water, making life a little easier for those living in our communities. Much as Fee’s grandparents worked hard to deliver exceptional experiences for guests at Lehman Hot Springs all those years ago, we want to express gratitude to all who work in our communities to provide quality resident experiences every day for the hundreds of grandparents in our care.

For the 2025–26 school year, 125 employees and their immediate family members from The Springs Living are receiving educational scholarships—the highest number yet.

This year, we’re also proud to award the Linda Orr Memorial Nursing Scholarship to Stefani Rodriguez, executive chef at The Springs at Clackamas Woods, who is pursuing her nursing degree after more than a decade of service with The Springs Living. 💙

Created in memory of Linda Orr, a beloved nurse at The Springs at Whitefish who passed away in 2023, this scholarship honors her legacy of compassion and commitment.

Our annual scholarship program is one way we invest in professional growth—a core pillar of employee wellness at The Springs Living.

👏 Join us in celebrating Stefani and all of this year’s scholarship recipients!
