<p>The boards of <a href="https://www.brightspire.org/?gad=1&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwm4ukBhAuEiwA0zQxk0yXJm9Wi-MopEsQjPGd74w73ugkExorC6ju9FHzki3lu7eDbTToixoCBHcQAvD_BwE" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Brightspire</a> and <a href="https://well-spring.org/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">The Well-Spring Group</a> announced on Wednesday that the two organizations have signed a letter of intent to merge. Officials say a new parent company will guide the businesses in an equal partnership.</p> 
<p>According to a news release, the as-yet-unnamed parent company is expected to be the largest nonprofit senior living organization in North Carolina, serving more than 2,000 residents.</p> 
<p>Both organizations will retain their current names, and will be co-led by Brightspire president and CEO Tim Webster, and Steve Fleming, who currently helms The Well-Spring Group.</p> 
<p>Brightspire, formerly known as The Presbyterian Homes, is made up of three senior living communities in High Point, Cary, and Laurinburg.</p> 
<p>Well-Spring runs facilities in Greensboro and Burlington, and also partners with <a href="https://www.pacetriad.org/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">PACE of the Triad</a>, a program serving the elderly in Guilford, Forsyth, Rockingham, Stokes, and Surry counties.</p> 
<p>Officials say no layoffs are planned, although there may be some consolidation of back office duties. The merger is expected to be finalized by the end of the year.</p>]]></content:encoded>
