| Many who visit our communities for the first
time sense a higher level of warmth and caring than they may
have experienced at other senior residences. We attribute this
to very fundamental differences in how Elder Care Alliance
was established, and how we are structured.
Elder Care Alliance is a non-profit, faith-based organization
dedicated solely to providing care services to meet the needs
of older adults. We trace our origin to the opening of Mercy
Retirement & Care Center in 1872. Founded by the Sisters
of Mercy, the community continues to reflect the same strong
spiritual values that it did when it first opened its doors
over 135 years ago. While that deep sense of faith, dignity,
and compassion is evident today in all our Elder Care Alliance
communities, we welcome all. We foster an environment of
tolerance and spirituality that welcomes the faiths of all our residents. We are cosponsored by the Sisters of
Mercy of the Americas West Midwest Community & the Sierra
Pacific Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
As a non-profit, our mission is to provide the highest quality
care possible to our residents, uncompromised by the need
to achieve profit margins. Because we are not bound by profit
constraints, we strive for the financial health necessary
to provide security to our residents, and the resources to
reinvest in our communities and services.
Our distinguished Board of Directors is dedicated to providing
the strategic guidance necessary for Elder Care Alliance
to not only continue to operate in a manner consistent with
our mission and values, but to expand our services and programs
through a wider range of communities.
Elder Care Alliance is proud to be managed by Life Care
Services, Inc. For
more than 40 years, LCS has been actively involved in the
planning, development
and management of over 180 retirement and Assisted Living
Communities throughout America. |
