Augustana Care provides health care, housing, and other services for older adults in a nonprofit, Christian environment. We provide a full continuum of services including housing for active seniors, rehabilitation therapy, adult day services, assisted living options, and 24-hour nursing services to meet the changing needs of today’s older adults. We are committed to providing innovative solutions that contribute to quality of life and ease transitions to new stages in life. Founded in 1896 in response to the growing needs of a Swedish immigrant community, Augustana started with a mission to serve children, older adults and others in need. Today, with over 100 years of service, we remain dedicated to that original spirit of generosity and social responsibility.
