Wellspring Lutheran Services

Wellspring Lutheran Services Since 1893, Wellspring has been a trusted nonprofit in Michigan. THE CAUSE THAT REFRESHES

Wellspring Lutheran Services. VISION
Changed lives. Strong families.

With a deep commitment to compassionate care, Wellspring provides a wide range of services, including senior living, memory care, hospice, behavioral health, and foster care & more. In combination, these words express our core belief that as we engage our clients and the community in relationship, we deliver practical and "life giving" solutions in abundance. Just as wellspring bubbles up from dee

p within the earth, bringing life-giving water, Wellspring Lutheran Services will bring life-giving solutions to nourish, grow and sustain individuals, families and communities. We express these deeply held beliefs in our vision, mission and values. Transformed Communities. We define a vision as the impact our work will have on the world. Wellspring Lutheran Services has the potential to provide a greater impact on individuals and families because we can work intergenerationally. Through this new approach, we can actually transform whole communities. And it all starts by changing one person at a time. MISSION
Motivated by Christ's love, we engage people as they experience and embrace their God-given potential. At the source of our work is love. We seek to imitate the love Jesus demonstrated in His life. It's the love that puts the good of neighbor above personal interests. Through His example, we offer support while engaging people as they experience and embrace their God-given potential each day. VALUES
Christ-centered. Excellence. Integrity. Life. Our values are the things we must live by - things we must be and achieve - in order to fully live out our mission. These values help direct our actions and drive our behavior.

What started as a shared love for nature has grown into something that will be enjoyed for years to come at our Wellspring Livonia Campus.

Recently, local students Naz Cimsit, president of the Schoolcraft Environment Club, and Hunter Anderson, a student at Madonna University, teamed up with Spanish interpreter and community volunteer Eric Nissani to plant fruit trees, spruce trees and other greenery on our campus.

Together, they planted three peach trees and two dwarf Stella cherry trees near the main entrance of the property, along with two spruce trees in the campus courtyards. The project helps create beautiful outdoor spaces for youth, staff and visitors to enjoy. Eric later returned with cucumber and potato plants in pots, which were placed near the fruit trees.

For Eric, the project was about more than planting trees.

"I honestly hope the kids are able to enjoy the fruits of those trees," he shared. "It could be a year or two before they really start producing, but God willing, they will."

Naz and the Schoolcraft Environment Club regularly take part in environmental projects across Michigan, including cleanups, conservation efforts and community improvement projects. This summer, they hope to continue making a difference through wildflower planting and other hands-on initiatives.

We're grateful for the generosity, hard work and vision these community volunteers have shared with Wellspring. Their efforts are already making our campus a little greener and will leave a lasting impact for years to come.

Thank you, Eric, Naz and Hunter, for helping our campus grow!

** New Directions is a residential foster care campus for youth ages 12-18 who have cognitive, behavioral and emotional challenges and need more care and structure than a traditional foster home can provide.

After 40 years in her house, Pat knew she was ready for something different... a place where she could be around people, feel connected and truly belong.

Now, as part of our Independent Living community at our Senior Living Campus in Saginaw, Pat says, “It’s not lonely here,” because there is always someone to talk to, share a moment with or simply enjoy the day beside.”

For Pat, this has become more than a place to live.
“I think it’s truly where God wanted me to be.”

Meet Amanda 💙

Amanda joined Wellspring in 2024 as an RN Case Manager and quickly found a place where her passion for helping others could make a meaningful difference every day.

One of the things Amanda values most about hospice is the opportunity to walk alongside families during difficult moments and remind them they are not alone. She also appreciates the support she receives from her coworkers, sharing that Wellspring's team approach means she never feels alone either.

When asked what she would say to someone considering a career in hospice, Amanda's answer is simple:

"What are you waiting for? If helping others makes you happy, don't hesitate on hospice."

We're grateful for team members like Amanda who bring compassion, comfort and support to families during some of life's most important moments.

Meet Kayla 💙

Kayla joined Wellspring six months ago and quickly discovered what keeps her coming back each day — the children and families she serves.

She knows that sometimes all it takes is one person to encourage, support and believe in someone as they work to change their life. That's what motivates her to continue showing up for children and families across Michigan.

During National Foster Care Month, we're grateful for team members like Kayla who bring compassion, encouragement and hope to the work they do every day.

For anyone considering becoming a foster parent, Kayla has a simple message:

"Do it. The best outcomes come from the unknown."

Some love stories stand the test of time. ❤️

Donald and Cleta Troyer first met in the backyard of the Troyer family farm at a youth group gathering. They were married on April 21, 1953 and recently celebrated an incredible 73 years of marriage at our Wellspring Campus in Fairview.

Surrounded by their children — the couple marked this special milestone while reflecting on a lifetime of memories, family and love. ❤️

Congratulations, Donald and Cleta, on 73 years together! What a beautiful legacy you have built.

Look who stopped by to visit! ⚾️

Lou E. Loon, the official mascot of the Great Lakes Loons, brought plenty of smiles and laughter to Covenant Skilled Nursing & Rehab at our Senior Living Campus in Saginaw!

Residents and team members enjoyed spending time with the "Ambassador of Fun" as he made his way around campus spreading cheer and showing off a little Loons spirit.

A big thank you to Lou E. Loon for making the day extra memorable! ❤️⚾️

A truckload of support arrived at our Kentwood office today! 💙

Hope Pkgs donated a truckload of overnight bags for children and youth entering foster care. Filled with essentials and comforting items, these bags help provide a little stability during what can be a very uncertain time.

We are incredibly grateful for our partnership with Hope Pkgs and their continued commitment to the children and families we serve. Their generosity helps ensure youth entering foster care have some of the items they need from day one.

Thank you, Hope Pkgs, for making a difference in the lives of so many children. We appreciate you!

PART 5 - Trigger warning: This video discusses physical changes that may occur during the final stages of life.

As the body begins to slow down near the end of life, families may notice physical changes that can feel unfamiliar or concerning if they are not prepared for them.

That is why we continue this educational series with Kimberly Ryan, registered nurse and executive director of hospice at Wellspring. With more than 10 years of experience as a hospice nurse, Kimberly has supported countless patients and families through the end-of-life journey, helping them better understand some of the changes that can naturally occur during this time.

In this video, Kimberly discusses changes in body temperature and circulation that families may notice during the final stages of life and explains ways caregivers can continue helping keep their loved one comfortable.

At Wellspring, we want to be a resource to our community. Sometimes that means talking openly about the things people are not prepared for until they are living them.

Please reach out to our hospice team at any time. We are here to answer questions, offer guidance and support you every step of the way.

We are proud to celebrate Margaret Walters, who resides at Wellspring in Monroe!

Margaret was nominated to participate in the Ms. Senior Monroe 2026 celebration hosted by the Monroe Aging Consortium at the Monroe County Community College Meyer Theater.

During the event, each contestant shared her philosophy of life and words of wisdom gathered throughout the years. Margaret shared:

"I would like people to remember me as a good wife, good mother and good friend. Treat people as you would like for them to treat you. All you need to do is smile. It will make them feel good and make you feel good as well. Teach your children to become good adults, but also play with them and be glad for snow days. If you have a job, show up on time. Other people are depending on you."

Margaret was accompanied on stage by a Veteran Es**rt and joined by her son, Jeff and daughter, Diane, for this special evening.

Congratulations, Margaret! 💙

PART 6 —— What is grief? The word grief can feel heavy.

For many people, it carries fear, sadness and pain before we even begin to talk about it.

We continue our grief series with Ricco Ruiz, bereavement coordinator at Wellspring and director of Camp Hope — a free grief camp for children ages 6–17 who have experienced the loss of a loved one.

Through years of sitting with children, families and individuals during some of life’s hardest moments, Ricco has learned something powerful about grief.

At its core, grief is love.
It is love that continues after loss.

Love that refuses to disappear even when the person we love no longer walks beside us.

And while grief can feel incredibly heavy, beneath that weight is something deeply human and deeply beautiful.

Grief exists because love existed first.

If you or someone you love is grieving, share this message with them. Sometimes simply understanding what grief truly is can help someone feel a little less afraid and alone.
