Immanuel Communities
Immanuel Communities was established in 1887 as a Christ-centered non-profit focused on senior care. Its operations center on retirement communities that provide independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. The organization holds direct ownership of multiple residential properties in Nebraska and Iowa. Confirmed assets include Immanuel Village, Lakeside Village, Pacific Springs Village, The Landing at Williamsburg Village, Trinity Village, Deerfield, Grand Lodge at the Preserve, Copper Shores Village, and The Shores at Pleasant Hill. It maintains a 12.14 percent allocation to private equity alongside real estate holdings. Geographic focus remains limited to the Midwest states of Nebraska and Iowa. Eric Gurley served as President and CEO from 2009 through June 2026. Julie Kaminski was named successor effective April 2026. The firm maintains two supporting foundations established in 1980 and 2011 that direct grants toward scholarships and campus enhancements. No verifiable operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. Immanuel Communities operates through wholly owned subsidiaries including IRC III LLC and Immanuel Pathways. Its structure ties investment activity directly to mission-driven real estate ownership rather than external fund commitments.
