Senior living organizations in Bloomfield and Southbury announced plans Monday for a nonprofit affiliation.
Bloomfield-based Seabury Inc. and Pomperaug Woods Inc. in Southbury said the affiliation will allow the two organizations to operate under a shared structure while maintaining local leadership and their nonprofit status.
Pending regulatory approval expected in April, Seabury will become the sole corporate member of Pomperaug Woods, which will continue to operate as a nonprofit Life Plan Community under the new name Seabury at Pomperaug Woods.
Leaders from both organizations emphasized that the arrangement is a membership affiliation, not a merger or an acquisition.
The affiliation is intended to strengthen long-term sustainability for both organizations, which said they serve older adults through a range of residential and health care services.
Under the proposed affiliation, Pomperaug Woods will retain its local board of directors and leadership team, led by Executive Director Vicki Gyba. Seabury will provide oversight, governance and shared services through its nonprofit system. Both organizations will continue to operate as 501(c)(3) nonprofits.
Officials said residents and employees will see no changes to services, employment or existing agreements as a result of the affiliation.
