It feels different here. Because it is.

Eventide Senior Living Communities has been serving seniors for more than seven decades, and in all that time, we’ve never wavered on what we set out to do.

We enhanced the lives and lifestyles of older adults across our region – in Minnesota, North Dakota and Nebraska. We’re a trusted part of thousands of families, serving an average of 2,300 seniors every day, with a team of 2,000 caregivers.

And we’re a faith-based nonprofit, focusing on making every stage of a senior’s life easier and more enjoyable. No matter where or how they want to live.

about us

Our Senior Living Communities

While a lot of places talk about community, Eventide makes sure you feel it. There’s a rhythm here – a kind of warmth and ease you won’t find everywhere else. Why?

We’re more personal.

Eventide isn’t built around systems, it’s built around people. So relationships here are real, familiar and rooted in trust. Residents are deeply known, not merely managed. And families aren’t just visitors, they’re part of the rhythm of life.

We’re more grounded.

Eventide leads with humility and doesn’t let hype get in the way. As a nonprofit, we invest in the people who live and work here and the things that will make their lives more enjoyable. There are no flashy trends, no pushy pitches, no hyperbole – just care you can count on and values you can feel.

We’re more joyful.

Eventide is filled with life. There’s laughter, there’s levity, there’s purpose, and there’s hope. Residents don’t just pass the time, they reconnect with meaning, creativity and community. This is a faith-based community that lifts people up, not just keeps them going.

about us serving

Serving North Dakota, Minnesota and Nebraska

Since 1951, the Eventide name has been serving the Midwest — initially founded in Moorhead, Minnesota, and expanding into North Dakota shortly thereafter. In October of 2024, Eventide joined with Tabitha Senior Care, expanding our reach and mission to empower older adults to thrive. Under an affiliation agreement, Eventide assumed the role as parent company, and now operates all former Tabitha communities in Nebraska.
