About Illuminus
Illuminus is a nonprofit senior living management company established to support mission-driven communities with operational and financial stewardship. It traces its origins to The Marquardt (formerly Marquardt Village), a Moravian-supported senior living community founded in 1969 in Watertown, Wisconsin.
Illuminus was formally created in 2015 by Matt Mauthe, then the Executive Director of The Marquardt, in recognition of growing demand for management services in senior living across Wisconsin (and later Minnesota).
Its corporate structure is that of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, tax-exempt since December 1996, with its primary governance and operations carried out through Illuminus Inc., based in Fitchburg, Wisconsin.
Illuminus employs over 2,000 staff who serve approximately 4,300 older adults daily. Their lines of business include independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing and rehabilitation, affordable housing, and home health and hospice services (via Commonheart), as well as management and consulting support to member communities.
In Wisconsin and Minnesota, Illuminus manages or operates skilled nursing facilities under operational/managerial control; examples include LindenGrove, The Marquardt, St. Elizabeth, St. Anne’s, St. Dominic Villa, and Auburn Homes & Services in Chaska and Waconia, among others.
