Our goal is to help residents live the lives that most inspire them. The principles that guide our work include valuing older generations' talents and experience; working to provide the care residents need, when and where they need it; working to connect residents to the people and things that mean the most to them; and supporting residents and families with spiritual care that speaks to who they are. We offer a broad range of services to anticipate and address the needs of older adults. In our 2019 fiscal year, more than 17,100 people were served in minnesota and colorado. Our seven health care centers provided transitional care, long-term and memory care, and rehabilitation services to more than 3,000 people. Augustana care also provides various housing communities to serve older adults with comfortable living and care options, including independent living, housing with services, assisted living, and memory care.

We also offer a range of community-based services, such as adult day programs, hospice, and therapy services, to enhance the quality of life for older adults who continue to live in their own homes.
