Ebenezer Management Services and HME Companies have signed agreements for Ebenezer to acquire HME Care, the senior living management arm of HME Companies, and assume management of eight Peaceful Pines senior living communities in South Dakota to Ebenezer in February 2027.
The communities are in Brookings, Fort Pierre, Huron, Madison, Milbank, Mitchell, Rapid City, and Spearfish.
HME Care is the senior living management arm of HME Companies, a real estate development and management company based in Brookings, South Dakota.
"Choosing the right organization to carry forward the mission of HME Care and management of our Peaceful Pines communities was an important decision,” said Kirk Simet, Chief Executive Officer of HME Companies. “Ebenezer brings deep experience and a commitment to residents and team members that aligns with our own. We will work closely together to support the people who make these communities special and prepare thoughtfully for the transition.”
Ebenezer is a senior living management, development, and consulting organization with more than 100 years of experience serving older adults and a connection to Fairview Health Services. Its communities have earned recognition from U.S. News & World Report, and Ebenezer has been recognized as a Minneapolis Star Tribune Top Workplace for 17 years.
“Peaceful Pines team members have built meaningful relationships with residents, families and their local communities,” said Brett K. Anderson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ebenezer. “We look forward to supporting their work and extending our commitment to wellbeing, connection and possibility to more older adults in South Dakota.”
In the months leading up to the transition, HME and Ebenezer will coordinate team member onboarding, community visits and communications with residents, families and partners.
