About the Organization
Augustana Care is a non-profit organization that provides housing, health care and community-based services to older generations and others in need - and helps residents live the lives that most inspire them.
Augustana Regent in Burnsville sets the standard for senior living where hospitality and caring give mom, dad, friends, and family a community they can truly call home. At the Regent our residents can age in place with services that provide round the clock staffing.
