Pleasant Spring Communities announces affiliation with HumanGood

August 9, 2023 – Pleasant Spring Communities, which oversees Springhouse Senior Living Community and Mount Pleasant Home both located in Boston and HumanGood, the nation’s sixth-largest not-for-profit provider of senior housing and services and the largest provider in California, announced today that the two organizations have agreed to an affiliation.

Following regulatory and lender approval, Mount Pleasant Home, a non-profit residential care home (rest home) for older adults, and Springhouse, a non-profit independent living community offering sophisticated senior living, will be part of HumanGood’s family of life plan and affordable housing senior living communities. This strategic collaboration will further enrich the lives of the residents the communities serve while also expanding HumanGood’s footprint into the Boston market.

“We chose to partner with HumanGood not only for their expertise in overseeing independent living communities like Springhouse and affordable housing communities for older adults, but also because they share our values of creating settings focused on independence, trust, and caring service for seniors,” said Michael McConnell, president of Pleasant Spring Communities. “The affiliation with HumanGood represents a wonderful opportunity for our organization to grow and thrive, and we are confident that our residents will benefit from an enhanced quality of life and care."

This affiliation will enable the organizations to enhance their operational efficiencies, streamline processes, and introduce innovative programs that further enrich the lives of residents as well as provide more opportunities for career growth and advancement for team members.

“Mount Pleasant Home and Springhouse have deep community roots and rich histories of proudly serving older adults in Boston, so I am excited for this opportunity to unite and continue to deliver innovative programs and exceptional senior living services in the region,” said John Cochrane, president and CEO of HumanGood. “This affiliation marks a significant milestone in our pursuit of inspiring the best lives for all of the residents we serve.”
