EverTrue Partners with St. Andrew's for Enhanced Aging Services
Newly integrated communities aim to empower older adults to live life fully through expanded services.
EverTrue, a leading nonprofit organization in aging services, has recently completed an important affiliation with St. Andrew's Resources for Seniors System. This partnership marks a significant step forward in EverTrue’s mission to provide high-quality care and services for older adults in the St. Louis region. The growth in services is part of its commitment to the philosophy of Older Adults Living Life to the Fullest.
By collaborating closely with St. Andrew's, EverTrue is poised to enhance its service offerings, which include housing, home-based care, and various support services tailored for senior residents. Adam Marles, president and CEO of EverTrue, expressed his enthusiasm about this partnership, stating how well both organizations align in their missions and values.
Responding to Growing Needs in Aging Services
Demographic trends indicate a significant rise in the population of older adults, particularly those aged 62 and above. Over the next several years, it’s projected that this segment will grow by 30% to 40% in the St. Louis area alone. EverTrue aims to meet this increasing demand through the expanded capacity brought about by the affiliation with St. Andrew's. Marles emphasized the importance of this partnership to cater to more than 1,000 residents currently benefiting from affordable housing options.
Additionally, with the integration of St. Andrew's philanthropic initiatives and programs, EverTrue can now enhance its EverTrue Anywhere Care services, dedicated to providing home-based care to the elderly.
Community Integration and Future Planning
Following the successful closing of the affiliation, EverTrue is actively working on plans to celebrate and seamlessly integrate the new communities and service offerings. Events designed to unite team members and residents will kick off this integration process. The organization is embarking on master planning efforts to ensure the future provision of services aligns with community needs. The aim is to identify critical long-term investments in personnel, physical assets, and overall service delivery.
Marles noted the importance of these investments in sustaining community development, stating that EverTrue's nonprofit model allows them to reinvest directly into the neighborhoods they serve. This commitment underlines their approach to fostering supportive, mission-driven care.
EverTrue is set to roll out its renowned Still You Memory Support philosophy across the newly affiliated communities, ensuring that all residents receive comprehensive support tailored to their individual requirements.
Comprehensive Services and Outreach
This strategic expansion places EverTrue in a robust position within the aging services landscape, now operating:
- 14 Life Plan Communities spanning three states
- One 55+ Independent Living Community
- 15 Affordable Housing Communities
- Eight EverTrue Anywhere Care service lines
- A variety of philanthropic programs serving the well-being of the community
Positive Economic Impact
The integration of over 425 new team members into EverTrue signifies not only a growth in service-oriented personnel but also contributes to a projected economic impact of $48 million. This impact furthers workforce stability and reinforces the vitality of communities throughout Missouri.
Looking to the Future: Investment and Collaboration
Marles reflected on how this partnership represents a broader growth strategy for EverTrue. He remarked on the value of continuous growth through strategic investment, collaboration, and partnerships. Such endeavors are essential to solidifying their ongoing mission of ensuring older adults have the necessary services to thrive.
