September 16, 2024
MOORHEAD, MN, and LINCOLN, NE — Eventide Senior Living Communities and Tabitha Senior Care have announced in a press release plans to combine under an affiliation agreement that is expected to take effect October 1, 2024, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the final agreement. This strategic partnership marks a significant milestone for both organizations, aimed at enhancing their ability to serve and support seniors in aging well across the Midwest.
Eventide Senior Living Communities is headquartered in Moorhead, Minnesota, serving western Minnesota and eastern North Dakota, while Tabitha Senior Care, based in Lincoln, Nebraska, provides support throughout eastern Nebraska. Both organizations offer a continuum of care for older adults, including 55+ active adult lifestyle apartments, independent senior living apartments, assisted living, memory care, transitional/rehabilitation care, long-term, skilled nursing, home health and hospice.
“We are excited to welcome Tabitha to the Eventide family. This strategic decision underscores our shared commitment to advancing senior care,” said Eventide President/CEO Jon Riewer. “Eventide and Tabitha are both nonprofit, faith-based organizations, sharing similar missions and values. By combining our strengths and resources, we will create a stronger, more resilient organization focused on delivering high-quality care and enriching the lives of seniors.”
“Uniting with Eventide positions Tabitha to continue our mission-driven legacy of providing compassionate care to seniors in Nebraska,” shared Tabitha President/CEO Brian P. Shanks. “Together, we will leverage our combined expertise to navigate industry challenges and enhance the services we offer.”
Through this partnership, Eventide will assume the role of the parent company. There will be no disruptions of services or care at Eventide or Tabitha and all clients will continue to receive the exceptional support they have come to expect.
“We look forward to the opportunities this partnership presents for our residents, clients, families, and staff,” added Riewer. “This integration will enable us to expand our reach and uphold our commitment to excellence in senior services.”
Combined, Eventide and Tabitha serve approximately 2,300 seniors daily, employ 2,200 people, and have a legacy of over 200 years of service. Both organizations share a philosophy of compassion and commitment to empower older adults, families, and employees to thrive. In a time when dynamics in senior services are changing rapidly, provider organizations must adapt and evolve to ensure the best for those served. This partnership is a step toward a future where their impact will be better together.
Eventide Senior Living Communities, founded in 1951, is a faith-based, nonprofit senior healthcare system. In addition to its Moorhead campus, the organization also has locations in Fargo, West Fargo, Jamestown, and Devils Lake (all in North Dakota).
Tabitha has been supporting families across Nebraska since 1886.
