About Cassia

Cassia was formed through the 2018 merger of two long-standing nonprofit organizations—Augustana Care and Elim Care—each with decades of experience, combining their heritage into a single entity now known as Cassia.

It operates as a faith-based nonprofit organization, with a mission 'to foster fullness of life for older adults in the spirit of Christ’s love'.

Cassia’s organizational structure includes Cassia Services, a management and support entity equally controlled (50/50 voting interest) by Augustana Care and Elim Care. Cassia Services, in turn, manages subsidiaries such as A&E Pharmacy, A&E Care Properties, and A&E Health, and holds a majority (55%) interest in the for-profit NextGen Pharm, LLC joint ventures.

The organization operates in five states, offering a broad continuum of services including skilled nursing, assisted and independent living, memory care, short-term rehabilitation, adult day services, hospice, pharmacy, and home health services through affiliated brands like Grace Hospice, Open Circle Adult Day, Pro Rehab, Genevive, and A&E Pharmacy.

Its reputation rests on faith-based, nonprofit stewardship rather than investor-owned growth; it’s structured to support both direct care and service infrastructure operations, with depth in memory care and community-based services.
