Vivie is a faith-rooted senior living, home health care, and hospice organization serving Minnesota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin. Formed from the merger of Knute Nelson and Walker Methodist—two organizations with more than 75 years of service each—Vivie carries that same heart forward under a new name.
Our team of more than 2,400 people supports over 20,000 individuals a year through senior living communities, home health care, rehabilitation, and hospice, wherever someone calls home. We believe life doesn't stop being meaningful as people age, so we tailor support to who each person is, not just what they need.
That same belief shapes how we build our team. We're looking for people with a servant heart who want to do work that matters alongside teammates who show up for each other the way we show up for the people we serve.
