About Us
St. John Lutheran Home, located in Springfield, Minnesota, was founded in 1901 as the St. Johns Hospital and old folks home.
St. Johns has evolved over time, and is now a large senior campus with the ability to care for all needs a person may have while they are aging. From Caretaker and Home Health Care Services, to Housing with Services, Dementia care and Short-Term Rehabilitation. In addition, St. John offers the Grandkids and V.I.K. (Very Important Kids) child care programs, which allows our children and our seniors to interact each and every day.
The St. John campus is owned as a not for profit corporation by six ELCA congregations and one Missouri Synod congregation. The governing board is made up of one representative from each of these seven congregations and four ‘at-large’ representatives from the surrounding area.
Membership from the corporate churches consists of:
- St. John Lutheran, Springfield
- St. Paul Lutheran, Springfield
- Sundown Lutheran, Springfield
- Zion Lutheran, Springfield
- New Hope Lutheran, Comfrey
- Christ Lutheran, Stately Township
- Trinity Lutheran, Sleepy Eye
