Keep top-quality care right here on the Iron Range—because our community deserves the best close to home. ❤️ In a small town like ours, caring for one another is what makes Heritage Manor feel like home.
Our new St. Francis Legacy Foundation is working to protect care close to home for generations to come — please take a moment to read, share and support. 🙌🏼
In towns all across Minnesota, one thing has always mattered most: taking care of our own.
For more than 60 years, our nonprofit care communities have been places where people find safety, joy, dignity, and connection — close to home and close to the people they love.
But here’s the reality we’re facing:
👉 Rural care is disappearing.
👉 Families are losing the option to keep parents, grandparents, neighbors, and friends close.
👉 Many don’t realize how many small-town care centers have closed in the last few years.
A few weeks ago, we introduced our new foundation — built on the 60-year legacy of nonprofit, faith-based, compassionate care St. Francis Health Services has provided since 1963.
Our mission is simple:
💛 Protect care close to home
💛 Bring daily joy to seniors and adults with disabilities
💛 Ensure every Minnesota community has care for life
This work matters. And it only happens because of people like you — people who care deeply about their hometowns, their neighbors, and the generations who built our communities.
If you believe Minnesota is stronger when we look out for each other, we’d love for you to follow along, share this post, and be part of this growing movement.
💛 Together, we can protect the promise of care in Minnesota.
