About Lifespace Communities
Lifespace Communities, Inc. is an Iowa-based not-for-profit senior living organization organized in 1976 (originally as Life Care Retirement Communities), adopting its current name in 2009. Their community model—Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs)—is designed to offer residents a full continuum of care, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, all on the same campus.
The organization is structured as a not-for-profit entity that benefits from tax-exempt financing to support capital development and operations. Lifespace has demonstrated longstanding financial stability, using such financing to facilitate growth and maintain operations over four decades.
Lifespace operates 16 communities, each typically comprising a health care center and residential living options. In their 2024 disclosure, they noted 11 communities in separate divisions and five held via legal entities with Lifespace as sole member, and 12 of those communities are part of an Obligated Group for joint financing liability.
Their geographic footprint spans seven states with communities in Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin. Among services, their CCRCs offer 'Life Care' cost-management plans—designed to provide predictable costs for long-term care—and wellness programming emphasizing intellectual, spiritual, physical and social growth.
