AuSable Valley Community merges with Lutheran Homes of Michigan |
FAIRVIEW — AuSable Valley Community, which offers skilled nursing care, independent living, and affordable apartment for seniors, has merged with Lutheran Homes of Michigan as of Jan. 1, 2011.
"This is the culmination of a process and a partnership that stretches to 2008," said Randy Harris, chairman of AuSable's board. "Lutheran Homes came alongside us in a time of need under a management contract, then became our non-profit, Christian-based sponsor, with an eye toward an eventual merger. Like us, Lutheran Homes has a long history of serving seniors, and it has been an excellent fit."
Harris is a member of the Lutheran Homes of Michigan board, and will remain so.
As one of Oscoda County's largest employers, no significant changes are expected for workers at AuSable Valley.
"AuSable Valley Community is defined by its employees, and they have been doing a great job serving seniors and caregivers," said David Gehm, president and CEO of Lutheran Homes. “The current AVC leadership and staff remain in charge of providing high-quality, front- line care of area seniors."
The merger makes AuSable Valley part of the larger, statewide Lutheran Homes family of campuses and home-based services.
Lutheran Homes has about 800 residential units, about 900 employees and serves more than 1,000 seniors and families with hospice and home care services. AuSable Valley has more than 100 employees, and serves well over 100 seniors on its campus.
AuSable's current board will continue to oversee the HUD apartments on the campus, and serve in an advisory role to Lutheran Homes. AuSable’s board will also consider other initiatives for senior services in the area.
