Vista Prairie Communities

Our leadership team has been on the move this week, advocating for older adults and the senior living profession at both the state and national levels.

President & CEO Jim Bettendorf spent time in St. Paul during LeadingAge Minnesota Day at the Capitol, meeting with legislators and LeadingAge Minnesota, while COO Anna Petersmeyer was in Washington, D.C. attending the LeadingAge Leadership Summit alongside fellow providers and LeadingAge Minnesota leadership.

Whether close to home or on the national stage, we remain committed to championing senior causes and supporting the communities we serve.

Here's to celebrating traditions, friendships, and the smiles that make every day feel lucky. 🍀 Happy St. Patrick's Day!

It was our honor to host LeadingAge Minnesota at our newest senior living community, Vista Prairie at Eagle Pointe in St. Francis, Minnesota! We were able to showcase our beautiful spaces and highlight the thoughtful design and services that will support older adults in St. Francis for many years to come. Thank you, LeadingAge Minnesota, for taking the time to visit — we’re proud to partner with an organization that champions innovation, quality, and dignity in aging.

We’re grateful for the laughter, the compassion, and the love that make our communities such a special place to call home. Here’s to the moments—big and small—that inspire us every single day.

We loved being part of the LeadingAge Minnesota Institute! Our CTO and CEO joined fellow leaders as panelists to talk about what’s next for technology in aging services and how strong operational fundamentals help turn big ideas into real action. We’re proud to have leaders who are always looking ahead and driving meaningful impact.
