I hope, once again, that this Spring Newsletter brings a smile to your face, finds you in good health, and enjoying the

season. While spring can bring beautiful flowers and often some surprises, it is with a great sense of gratitude that I am

working with Lutheran Senior Services of Missouri and Central Illinois. Ron Schaefer, COO of LSS, my friend and

colleague for 25+ years, called to invite me to review 8 life-plan communities in an effort to create a master plan for the

next 20+ years. This is a great challenge and a wonderful opportunity to work with an enlightened non-profit that has

served their communities well for 160+ years. Now that I have been to St. Louis, Columbia, and Peoria, I have observed

firsthand that this organization serves the needs and desires of older adults extremely well. They are forward-thinkers

and I look forward to continuing my work with them in an effort to address the future of their communities.

 

I would also like to share that for the past two years I have worked with a developer that would like to create a

community to address the needs of older adults. Together, we identified several promising opportunities. Unfortunately,

sellers have not always been realistic, despite very good offers for land acquisition, and thus no deals have been

consummated. If you are aware of any opportunity that might be of interest, preferably in California and the western

states, please contact us at steinfeldtassociates@gmail.com or 805-962-6868.

 

May your Spring be filled with all the joy nature offers. Enjoy each and every day!

 

With best wishes,

 

Edward Steinfeldt
