Fee Stubblefield is the Founder and CEO of The Springs Living with its home office in McMinnville, Oregon. Fee started The Springs Living in 1996, with an idea to build a retirement community acceptable to his grandmother who was facing challenges of aging. Today there are 11 communities in Oregon and four in Montana. They offer senior living with options for independent retirement living, assisted living and memory care. The focus of The Springs Living has never been to be the biggest, but simply to be the best by changing the way people experience senior living as residents and employees. Fee embraces the fact that the “magic” is in the daily interactions between the residents and direct care staff. In addition to nurturing an atmosphere of warmth and caring, The Springs Living has been successful in developing beautiful communities from the ground up. The Springs at Greer Gardens in Eugene, Oregon, is the newest property in the family with 216 units (independent, assisted and memory care) and opened in June of 2017. Additional communities are under construction in Lake Oswego, Oregon, and Bozeman, Montana, and scheduled to open in late 2019. Fee attended Clemson University; is married and has three adult children. He is the Chair of the Oregon Health Care Association (OHCA) and on the Operator Advisory Board of the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care (NIC).
