Springmoor Life Care Retirement Community

Meet Abby, Bella, and Benji! These three sweet doggies regularly visit residents who live in our Stewart Health Center (SHC). If you’re a member of the Springmoor community with a friendly dog (or don’t have a dog but still want to help), please message us on Facebook.

Usually, two people team up to accompany each dog. We provide teams with a list of residents especially happy to have dog visitors. Visits can be planned at the convenience of the pet team and don’t need to occur on a regular schedule. All that’s needed is your dog’s up-to-date vaccination record.

Teams receive a brief tour and orientation to familiarize them with the SHC “neighborhoods.” Visiting with your pet is a wonderful way to meet SHC staff and the residents who live there. Be prepared to be inspired by the endearing stories SHC residents share about dogs they have known! springmoor.org/2018/03/05/pets-are-the-best-medicine

Springmoor is proud to be a nonprofit that puts the needs of our community members first! Residents enjoy guaranteed residency for life, and the Springmoor Endowment Fund helps make this possible. At the end of October, a full auditorium of attentive players raised $652 at the Annual Endowment BINGO Event. We awarded more than 20 prizes, with Janet Beyer winning the final coverall of $100. The Endowment Committee of the Springmoor Residents Association coordinated the event and would like to thank all who participated.

On Saturday, 12/13 at 2 pm, residents will share holiday stories that are special to us. Join us around a cozy fire in the Ammons Room with your favorite Christmas or Hanukkah story.

The opportunity to hear live music on campus each week is one of the many wonderful aspects of life here at Springmoor. The Cardinal Singers offer residents a pre-holiday concert each fall. About 40 members of this slightly larger group performed on 11/10 for our Residents Association Meeting. Springmoor women have traditionally been members of the singing group; currently there are two. The Cardinal Singers perform throughout NC and has even traveled to Europe to give concerts. Elizabeth Beam (pictured with microphone) is the director, and Earleen Barnes is the accompanist.

Springmoor residents are already busy giving back to our local community this holiday season! Before Thanksgiving, a group of residents collected toiletries and shelf-stable food for two neighborhood schools, Lynn Road Elementary PTA and Lead Mine Elementary PTA. Supplies were gathered to support the Lynn Road Lions Delicious Deli, a school-based food pantry. Canned goods and meal staples filled Thanksgiving baskets for families at Lead Mine ES.

Residents also made hand-knitted scarves and hats which were delivered to Lynn Road ES during this cold first week of December. Hats off to our knitters!

Springmoor’s Residents Association Health & Fitness Committee sponsors annual school supply drives for these two Title I schools.

The annual yard sale to benefit the Springmoor Endowment Fund was a roaring success! Held at the end of October, the indoor sale raised $4,460, surpassing last year’s total by more than $200. We also received a generous special donation to the sale of over $3,400. Many thanks to the residents who contributed items, as well as all volunteers and staff members who coordinated this fun event. Our wonderful shoppers secured some great buys!
