What We Do
Ecumen operates a variety of senior housing options and services from independent living communities to assisted living and long-term care, and at-home and community-based services. In addition to our consumer services, we provide senior housing development, clinical consulting and senior housing management services for organizations outside of Ecumen.
Leadership
Ecumen is a 501(c)(3) organization that is led by a 15-member board of trustees.
Trustees are elected by the Members Assembly, which are representatives of each of the six Minnesota synods of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA). Ecumen does not receive financial support from the ELCA. Its revenue is generated through operations and fundraising.
Kathryn Roberts was appointed as Ecumen's chief executive officer and president in 2003.
Annual Revenues and Operations
2015 revenues were $152.2 million, based on our Consolidated Financial Statement.
Ecumen currently operates in 38 cities in Minnesota, Idaho, Michigan, Nebraska, North Dakota, Tennessee and Wisconsin.
Operations include 16 independent living communities, 33 assisted living communities, 25 memory care communities and 15 health care centers.
