Immanuel Receives Rural Aging Action Grant

Immanuel Living was awarded a three-year grant from Lutheran Services in America to address the increasing number of underserved and isolated older adults in rural communities across Flathead County experiencing social isolation and difficulty accessing services and supports to successfully age at home.

“Immanuel Living is honored to have been selected as the recipient of this innovative grant,” says Jason Cronk, CEO and President. “It is our vision to grow an educational and community hub to connect families of older adults with services throughout rural communities across Flathead County. This model will be a ‘one-stop shop’ to provide service coordination and resources to enable underserved and isolated older adults to live at home independently.”

Lutheran Services in America also selected a number of organizations to receive funding under the grant. The service organizations comprise the national collaborative “Rural Aging Action Network” with the common goal of empowering older adults to age with independence, dignity and purpose in the community of their choice.

“This investment builds on the collective knowledge, expertise and established trust and presence of Immanuel Living in rural communities and — together, through this collaboration — creates a stronger community of care for rural aging,” said Charlotte Haberaecker, president and CEO of Lutheran Services in America.
