SAINT LOUIS, MI / ACCESSWIRE / October 15, 2024 / Continuing to build its footprint in the Midwest, Saint Therese, an aging care and services leader based in the Twin Cities, today announced it will acquire St. Mary of the Woods in Avon, Ohio, near Cleveland. The transition of ownership is expected to occur on December 1, 2024. This is the second acquisition for Saint Therese in two years and the second in the region, following the purchase last year of IHM Senior Living Community in Monroe, Mich.
"St. Mary of the Woods was built with a deep Catholic foundation, just as we were, and we are proud to carry on that tradition as it becomes a part of the Saint Therese family," said Craig Abbott, president and CEO of Saint Therese. "This acquisition is part of our strategy to broaden our presence and care services in the Midwest with mission-aligned organizations.

It has 81 independent living apartments, 49 assisted living apartments and 50 skilled nursing beds, and it has six acres that are zoned for potential future expansion. It currently has over 200 employees, all of whom Saint Therese intends to hire.
St. Mary of the Woods has a Five-Star rating by CMS and was recognized as a 2024 Best Nursing Home by U.S. News & World Report.
