About Americare

All the comforts of home

For over 20 years, Americare has extended care to senior generations in America's heartland. Men and women who have served sons and daughters, grandchildren, neighbors and their country in countless ways both small and great. Now it's our turn to help. We consider it a privilege to serve those who have passed on to us, "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

At the heart of every Americare community is a philosophy of person-centered care. This philosophy guides every decision we make. Person Centered care comes alive in our communities and truly makes a difference in the lives of our residents, their families and our co-workers. We invite you to take a few moments to see what we mean by viewing a sampling of Americare stories throughout our company.

The Americare Experience

The Americare Experience Project is a collection of stories from our communities. Each story is told from a different perspective - residents, families, and co-workers. Each story unique - each story special. We invite you to take a few moments and share in The Americare Experience and see what sets our communities apart.
