Immanuel Acquires Deerfield of Des Moines and Grand Lodge of Lincoln

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Immanuel Communities, a leader of retirement living and senior care services throughout the region, is proud to announce the acquisition of two Lifespace retirement communities: Deerfield, located in Des Moines, Iowa, and Grand Lodge at the Preserve, located in Lincoln, Neb. Immanuel assumed ownership of Deerfield and Grand Lodge on August 1, 2021. 

Immanuel Communities and Lifespace Communities, both not-for-profit, resident and employee-first senior living organizations, are humbled to come together as these Lifespace communities join the Immanuel family in 2021. These organizations share a common commitment in putting residents and employees first and their cultural and operational mission-driven values lean on hospitality-infused philosophies to create meaningful, memorable and extraordinary experiences for residents.

"We're excited and humbled by the opportunity to strengthen our commitment to Lincoln and Des Moines and welcome these communities to the Immanuel family," said Eric Gurley, Immanuel president and CEO. "Immanuel and Lifespace hold similar values in caring for the health and wellbeing of seniors, employees and their families. We're honored to continue to carry on this mission of service."

The acquisition of these communities extends Immanuel's Midwest commitment to Iowa and Nebraska while allowing Lifespace an opportunity to continue focusing on geographic regions where it currently has multiple communities.

"Immanuel is an ideal organization to carry on the foundation of excellent resident and employee experiences that Lifespace has created at Deerfield and Grand Lodge at the Preserve. As we sustainably grow our mission in other areas, we confidently and comfortably entrust the wellbeing of residents and team members to Immanuel's earned reputation across the region," said Jesse Jantzen, Lifespace president and CEO.
