Six weeks of learning, connection, and community—and now graduation is just around the corner!

The Senior Citizen Police Academy at Plainfield Tower West is coming to a close, and the impact goes beyond the lessons learned. Through their time with local police, firefighters, and emergency management professionals, 15 resident cadets have built relationships, asked questions, gained valuable safety knowledge, and become more connected to the community around them.

For Executive Director Sandra Pettiford, one of the most rewarding parts has been seeing residents become more engaged and confident in accessing local resources—and building relationships with their “local heroes.”

We’re excited to celebrate this inaugural class and all they’ve accomplished! Learn more about the Senior Citizen Police Academy: https://springpointsl.org/blog/springpoint-partnership-brings-senior-citizen-police-academy-to-plainfield/.

Shoutout to the people behind the people! 💙

Our Springpoint HR team does a lot—supporting team members, solving problems, sharing ideas, and helping make Springpoint a great place to work.

And despite busy schedules, HR team members from across Springpoint make time every month to get together, catch up, learn from each other, and share what’s happening in their communities.

They’re a smart, dedicated, and genuinely fun group—and we’re lucky to have them!

And clearly, their hard work is getting noticed! The team is celebrating a recent Springpoint Excellence Award and an honorable mention from Ragan Communications and PR Daily for Talent Recruitment & Retention. Well deserved! 👏

Manchester Pines, a Springpoint affordable housing community, recently celebrated a special milestone—its 15th anniversary! Residents and team members came together for a fun day of summer-themed community spirit.

For 15 years, Manchester Pines has been more than a place to call home—it’s been a community where older adults can build connections, stay engaged, and enjoy a strong sense of belonging.

At Springpoint, we’re proud to support affordable housing and the older adults who call our communities home. Through the support of the Springpoint Foundation, we help provide programs, services and opportunities that enhance quality of life and strengthen connections for residents across our affordable housing communities.

Here’s to 15 wonderful years at Manchester Pines—and to many more to come! 🥳🏡❤️

As she wraps up her summer with Springpoint, we're celebrating Kyra Clark and the enthusiasm she brought to our IT team through the Tomorrow's Leaders Program.

A computer science student at UConn, Kyra spent the summer gaining hands-on IT experience, exploring the technology that powers our communities, and building meaningful connections with team members across the organization. Along the way, she strengthened her technical skills, expanded her professional experience, and gained valuable insight into the role technology plays in supporting older adults.

This opportunity was made possible through Tomorrow's Leaders, Springpoint's paid internship program supported by the Springpoint Foundation. Through this investment in emerging talent, the Foundation helps provide students with meaningful, hands-on learning experiences while building the next generation of leaders in aging services.

Thank you, Kyra, for spending your summer with us. We wish you all the best as you continue your studies and pursue your career in technology!

A group of our student interns recently came together for a mid-summer meetup to reflect on their experiences, share what they’ve learned, and connect with one another.

What stood out most? Their enthusiasm. They discussed how meaningful their work has been, how welcomed they’ve felt by their teams, and how their experiences have given them a new perspective on senior living. From gaining hands-on experience to building relationships with residents and exploring different career paths, their feedback reminds us why investing in the next generation matters.

This year, we’re proud to welcome 36 students from 18 universities and four community colleges across Springpoint. Through programs like these, supported in part by the Springpoint Foundation, we’re creating meaningful opportunities that help develop the future workforce in aging services.

Thank you to all of our interns for bringing your curiosity, fresh perspectives, and commitment to Springpoint—we’re excited to see what the rest of your journies bring!
