Cassia CONNECT

Cassia CONNECT is a faith-based Christian senior care organization that operates senior living and care communities in five American states. Its work covers senior living, elder care, long-term care and residential healthcare, with person-centred care and services designed to help older adults feel valued, respected and connected. The organisation was formed from the legacy of Augustana Care and Elim Care.

Its offerings include senior living and care communities and a set of team member training and development programmes. These comprise on-site training, scholarship opportunities and recognition schemes that invest in staff growth and wellbeing. The specific states in which the communities operate are not named.

The organisation describes its mission as fostering fullness of life for older adults in the spirit of Christ's love, while welcoming team members and residents of all faith traditions. Its stated values are compassion, integrity, excellence, innovation, stewardship, unity, respect and collaboration. Cross-functional teams, from accounting to culinary to caregivers, meet for daily StandUP sessions. Serving older adults is framed as a calling rather than simply a job.
