CHAMPLIN, MN — Vista Prairie Communities has completed the transition of ownership for both Housing Alternatives Development Corporation Ridgeway communities in New Ulm, Minnesota. The two properties, Ridgeway on German and Ridgeway on 23rd, provide assisted-living and memory-care services in 116 apartments.
“Vista Prairie Communities is honored to be selected to continue the good work of HADC Ridgeway in serving the needs of seniors in New Ulm, and to bring our mission of compassion and joy to the Ridgeway communities,” said Vista Prairie President/CEO Jim Bettendorf in a press release.
“We are very excited to continue our organizational growth and extend our services, and programs such as our new Aspire™ Life on Purpose lifestyle model to the community of New Ulm,” said VPC’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing Rachelle Strasburg. “It will impact the landscape of how senior care is delivered and help every person we serve find purpose.”
