Lutheran Senior Services (now known as EverTrue) is pleased to announce that Diakon’s senior living operations are now officially part of LSS, a mission-driven, nonprofit organization specializing in housing, care and supportive services for older adults. With the closing, LSS is now the 12th largest nonprofit senior living organization in the United States, with annual revenues estimated at $360 million.

“As we warmly welcome Diakon’s residents and team members into the LSS family, we are looking towards the future,” added Marles. “Together as one, we will continue to build community, trust, and belonging. We will learn from each other to deepen our services and offerings to meet the current and future needs of older adults.”
