Who We Are
We are integrity-driven, compassionate people who live our mission of Christ-centered service to seniors, each other and the community. We’re proud to be a local provider and to be living true to a mission of service since 1887.
Our comprehensive selection of retirement solutions—ranging from independent living to assisted living, long-term care and innovative home-based support—empower seniors to live a lifestyle of freedom, dignity, independence and safety.
The Immanuel Difference creates unforgettable experiences that empower each person to build deep-rooted friendships, experience remarkable adventures, explore new talents and make everlasting memories—to thrive with purpose in mind, body and spirit.
Vision
Here, we are called to serve others, to do what’s right. At our core, we are about respecting and providing dignity, safety and wellness for all. That is The Immanuel Way.
All People will Grow and Age with Dignity, Safety, and Wellness.
History
Since 1887, Immanuel’s mission has been to serve our neighbors, to fill gaps in community health and services, and to express Christ’s love in our lives and work.
We began as a Lutheran ministry, led by Pastor E.A. Fogelstrom and five Deaconesses. They were dedicated to “works of mercy” and established programs that cared for the community’s most marginalized—the sick, orphaned and elderly.
Pastor Fogelstrom’s dedication flourished into the establishment of Immanuel Hospital and eventually to our family of retirement communities and senior services which serve people of all faiths throughout the Midwest.
We are guided by the Nebraska Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) as a leader in retirement living and senior services. We are also a proud member of Lutheran Services in America (LSA), one of the largest health and human services in the country. The LSA network includes more than 300 members and touches the lives of one in fifty people each year.
Board and Leadership
Our leaders believe every person deserves respect, safety and wellness. They lead by example, living the mission set forth by our founder.
