Knute Nelson Description
For many seniors in West Central Minnesota, the name "Knute Nelson" is synonymous with quality care provided with compassion. A few might think of the former Minnesota senator and governor of same name. But the tie between the two isn’t just in name. All of the senior living communities in West Central Minnesota, programs and services currently offered started with Senator Nelson.
He was a philanthropist and renaissance man. In his day, many older adults were cared for at home by their families. He wanted to ensure that all seniors were looked after. When he died, he left his family home and 23 acres in Alexandria, "for the construction and equipment and maintenance of a suitable 'Old People's Home.'"
Our mission, to enrich the lives of everyone we serve, grew out of his vision. It affects all of our decision making – from strategic planning, the services we offer and how we make an impact in the communities where we serve.
