Cassia CONNECT

Cassia CONNECT is a faith-based senior care organization that operates senior living and care communities across five states in America. Its stated purpose is to foster fullness of life for older adults through compassionate, person-centered care, delivered in environments designed to make residents feel valued, respected and connected. The organization traces its legacy to the founding bodies Augustana Care and Elim Care.

Though rooted in the Christian tradition, Cassia says it warmly welcomes team members and residents of all faith traditions, aiming at an inclusive environment in which everyone can belong. Its published core values are compassion, integrity, excellence, innovation, stewardship, unity, respect and collaboration, and it describes work in its communities as a calling rather than a job.

Internally, the organization runs daily cross-departmental meetings - known as StandUP meetings - that bring together staff from accounting to culinary to caregivers to align on service to residents. Development for team members is supported through on-site training programs, scholarship opportunities and recognition programs that celebrate excellence.

Cassia operates in the senior living, elder care, healthcare and long-term care sectors, and characterizes itself as a nonprofit, faith-based service provider. It states that it embraces innovation in order to meet the evolving needs of older adults and their families.
