About Vetter Senior Living

Vetter Senior Living began in 1975 when Jack and Eldora Vetter purchased their first nursing home in Fairbury, Nebraska, launching a mission grounded in the belief that the elderly deserve 'Dignity in Life.' Over time, they established Vetter Health Services as a management company to support and expand the operation of the growing network of facilities.

Today, Vetter Senior Living remains a 501(c)(3) private nonprofit corporation, governed by a board that includes founder Jack D. Vetter as Chairman/CEO, Eldora D. Vetter as Secretary, and Glenn Van Ekeren as President, along with Treasurer Brian Stuhr and COO Heath Boddy. It operates approximately 31–32 facilities across Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, and Wyoming, serving around 2,500 residents with 3,500–3,800 staff members.

The organization is community-focused, emphasizing 'relationships' and localized facility leadership, supported by expertise from its home office in Elkhorn, Nebraska.
