LifeSpan Network Selects BenefitsMe to Offer Financial Wellness Resources for Senior Care Workforce

Wichita, KS – February 2026 – BenefitsMe, a national financial wellness and voluntary benefits platform, has been selected by LifeSpan Network, the largest senior care provider association in the Mid-Atlantic, to make its purchasing assistance program and financial support resources available to LifeSpan’s member organizations across Maryland and Washington, D.C.

LifeSpan Network represents more than 500 senior care providers spanning the full continuum of services, including independent living communities, assisted living providers, skilled nursing facilities, continuing care retirement communities, senior housing organizations, and community-based care programs. Through this new collaboration, member organizations will be able to offer their teams access to a practical financial wellness benefit designed to help employees manage everyday needs without added financial strain.

BenefitsMe enables employees to shop from a marketplace of more than 70,000 brand-name products and services – from home essentials and appliances to electronics, tires, travel bookings, and more – and pay over time through automated payroll deductions. Spending limits are based on income rather than credit history, ensuring access for employees who may otherwise face barriers to traditional financing.

“LifeSpan Network plays a vital role in supporting providers who care for our aging population, and we are proud to extend our platform to the workforce behind that mission,” said Raechel Peters, President of BenefitsMe. “Senior care employees often face demanding schedules and financial pressures. Providing a benefit that is easy to use, inclusive, and genuinely helpful aligns perfectly with our goal of making life more manageable for working families.”

For LifeSpan Network, the addition of BenefitsMe strengthens its suite of member resources focused on operational efficiency, workforce support, and education. The organization is widely recognized as a trusted source for policy insight, industry trends, and professional development through initiatives such as the Beacon Institute.

“We’re excited to partner with BenefitsMe as a preferred LifeSpan Products and Services partner for our members. At LifeSpan, everything we do is focused on creating real value for our members, and this partnership is a great example of that commitment in action. BenefitsMe brings innovative solutions that help organizations to better support their employees, and to aid them in their recruitment and retention efforts. Specifically, through BenefitsMe, employees are able to make purchases of items they and their families need everyday, through payroll deduction. No credit cards, no credit lines, and no interest. We truly believe this program is a game-changer for our members and our people.”

By introducing BenefitsMe to its network, LifeSpan is equipping senior care organizations with a no-cost, easy-to-implement benefit that can strengthen recruitment and retention while reinforcing financial well-being across the workforce.
