St. John’s United is a community of diverse people sharing God’s healing presence. Our mission is to provide living opportunities within nurturing environments of hope, dignity, and love.
St. John’s United is a 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit organization founded in 1960 and owned by 24 Montana congregations of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). The good work of St. John’s United spans the entire state of Montana, offering a wide array of services to older adults, families, and children—with no regard to religious preference, race, gender, age, diagnosis or disability.
With humble beginnings as Montana’s first HUD-financed senior retirement community, St. John’s has grown to become one of the largest providers for eldercare in Montana, consisting of income-based and private pay independent retirement apartments, assisted living, skilled nursing and memory care communities, a unique At Home program, post-hospital transitional care, as well as rehabilitation, home health and hospice services. As those within the baby-boomer generation continue to advance into their retirement years, the demand for our resident-centered care continues to grow.
Vision
St. John’s United is a place where every day for every age there is healing, meaning, and purpose.
