It is currently developing Luther Park of Sandpoint, Idaho, which will be physically connected to First Lutheran Church of Sandpoint and include independent living, assisted living and memory care.
“We’re very pleased to have Julie joining the Ecumen senior housing development team,” said Steve Ordahl, senior vice president of business development for Ecumen. “Her commitment to hospitality and creating wonderful customer experiences is a tremendous asset for our clients who are seeking to create senior housing for the 21st Century.”
