The Highlands Senior Living Communities

The Highlands Senior Living Communities Active adults 55+ can enjoy independent living in a home of their own within Vennehjem, our welcoming senior lifestyle community.

At The Highlands, we provide a thoughtful continuum of care and multiple levels of support designed to meet seniors where they are — and help them as their needs change over time. When extra support is needed, personalized assistance is available, along with smooth transitions into assisted living or nursing care — all within a familiar, trusted environment. We offer respite services for family caregivers and convenient access to short-term rehab and therapy, so residents can recover and return to their routines as quickly as possible. At The Highlands, you’re never navigating change alone. Our full range of services, caring team, and close-knit community ensure support, comfort, and connection every step of the journey.

His mention of a fountain pen sparked a wonderful bit of nostalgia for us at The Highlands Assisted Living and today, Adam Mertzenich and his father, Claude, stopped by with a collection of fountain pens Adam still uses. Beautifully crafted, nostalgic, and full of stories, each pen sparked great conversation.
Ole even shared his own pen from his college days at St. Olaf College — just a few years ago in 1946 😊
Thank you for the stories, the history, and a delightful day of connection!

It was such a pleasure delivering Valentine's flowers to all of our residents and tenants here at The Highlands on behalf of The Country Garden Flowers and Gifts! Joellen and her team, as well as all those from the community who donated, created some very sweet smiles and many many thanks from our residents. We appreciate all your kindness this Valentine's season! 💗

Looking for work that truly matters — and a place to call home? Just ask Queen. She began her healthcare journey more than 20 years ago as a CNA at only 19, and no matter where life took her, she always found her way back to caregiving — it was her calling. At The Highlands and Aase Haugen, Queen grew her career, earned advanced degrees, and built a life right here in Decorah while serving the elders she loves. You can do the same. Join a team that supports your education, invests in your future, and welcomes you into a caring community. Come build your career — and your home — with us. Apply online at highlands.org!
