It was a hot day, but we accomplished so much! Our annual community giving project found our CLC team of volunteers painting the house of a lovely woman who just needed a little extra support to maintain her home and preserve her dignity. We value the work of Brothers Redevelopment, Inc. and their annual Paint-A-Thon for income qualified older adults. A special thanks to Thrivent for providing the snacks and lunch needed to fuel the dedicated team!

Creating communities where aging is honored and celebrated doesn’t just happen on its own, it takes intention and practice. We recently had the honor of hosting a powerful virtual conversation with "The Art of Community" author Charles Vogl. Residents, team members, and leaders from across Christian Living Communities came together to reflect on what it truly means to create community and belonging. Want to feel inspired? Curious how values like mutual concern and shared purpose come to life?

Last month, leaders from across our CLC-Ca****la communities came together for one of our most anticipated events of the year: the SPARK:2025 Leadership Summit. Nearly 90 change-makers from our clinical, operational, community life, and sales & marketing teams gathered for a powerful day and a half to share ideas, grow together, and fuel the spark that drives our mission forward.

We were honored to welcome Lisa Dimino White, The Joy Seeker and author of "Bursting with Happiness," who reminded us how simple, intentional moments of joy can transform not only our work, but our lives.

Throughout the summit, participants engaged in small group breakouts and dynamic large-group sessions covering everything from Duet Hospitality’s innovative, sensory-rich dining experience to a deep dive into The Eden Alternative's Domains of Well-Being. Each conversation offered new ways to learn from one another and strengthen our leadership impact.

At SPARK, we don’t just gather to lead—we gather to grow, connect, and celebrate the heart of our organization: our people.

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible sponsors who made this event possible:
Duet Hospitality Group
Medline Industries, LP
Cigna Healthcare
PalCare
Rhombus
LifeLoop
