St. Andrew’s Resources and EverTrue Finalize Affiliation Agreement

EverTrue, a leading provider of aging services, and St. Andrews Resources for Seniors System (St. Andrew’s), both in St. Louis, have agreed to an affiliation where specific communities, programs and services of the St. Andrews’s system will become part of EverTrue. The agreement closed in December.

EverTrue, formerly Lutheran Senior Services, will lead and operate two Life Plan Communities, six affordable housing communities, a specialized 55+ community, St. Andrew’s In-Home Services, and St. Andrew’s philanthropic activities, supporting team members and residents with its EverTrue world-class programs and services. Approximately 425 employees are included in the affiliation.

Adam Marles, president and CEO of EverTrue, believes this affiliation will strengthen each of the communities as the dynamics of senior living continue to change.

“As EverTrue, our mission of Older Adults Living Life to the Fullest, means we are dedicated to being innovative in not only the services and care we provide, but also our role in the older adult living industry,” said Marles. “This affiliation will help us compete for talent, advance our focus on total well-being, all while aligning our commonalities, such as our faith-based offerings.”

The affiliation includes two St. Andrew’s Life Plan Communities:

• Brooking Park and The Willows
• Cape Albeon

The affiliation also enlarges EverTrue’s affordable housing capacity, a core outreach ministry to those on a limited income.

• Andrew’s at Jennings
• Gillespie Village
• Mercy Seat
• Zion Corner/Sammie E. Jones Residence
• Rush Senior Gardens
• Almira Manor

Additionally, the affiliation includes 55+ community Tower Grove Manor, St. Andrew’s Charitable Foundation, and St. Andrew’s In-Home Services.
