About Cura
CURA ('care' in Latin) is a Minnesota-based non-profit formed around 2022, dedicated to delivering person-centered senior care across independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing sectors ([curamn.org](https://curamn.org/home-page?utm_source=openai)).
It began through collaboration with Premier Health Care Management, taking over operations of long-term care centers previously managed by CentraCare Health System in rural towns such as Melrose, Monticello, Sauk Centre, Willmar, Le Sueur, Benson, Long Prairie, Watkins, and St. Joseph, through lease and eventual ownership agreements starting in late 2023 and early 2024 ([zeta.creativecirclecdn.com](https://zeta.creativecirclecdn.com/starpub/files/20240409-140014-2024-04-10.pdf?utm_source=openai)).
CURA is structured as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, independent and locally focused. As of the latest data (2024), it employs approximately 1,871 staff, had revenues of about $41.3 million, and expenses of $34.9 million. Its services span skilled nursing, assisted living, independent living, and memory care, especially in Minnesota communities ([causeiq.com](https://www.causeiq.com/organizations/cura%2C883576319/?utm_source=openai)).
It typically operates in rural Minnesota with a focus on small-town senior living and care, collaborating particularly with smaller health systems and municipalities ([zeta.creativecirclecdn.com](https://zeta.creativecirclecdn.com/starpub/files/20240409-140014-2024-04-10.pdf?utm_source=openai)).
