American Baptist Homes of the Midwest

American Baptist Homes of the Midwest is a nonprofit organization that provides senior living and health‑care services to older adults. It is affiliated with the American Baptist Churches USA, which shapes its mission‑driven, faith‑based approach to care. The organization aims to support residents’ physical well‑being, social engagement, and spiritual needs. By operating multiple communities, it seeks to offer a range of housing and care options that meet varying levels of need. ABHM emphasizes person‑centered care and strives to maintain high standards of quality and safety. Its services are designed to help seniors live with dignity and support as they age.

American Baptist Homes of the Midwest is headquartered in the United States and operates multiple senior living facilities in several states across the Midwest region. This geographic footprint was noted in the March 10 2019 ransomware incident, which affected systems at several of its locations. The organization’s distinguishing attributes include its nonprofit status, its affiliation with a religious denomination, and its focus on delivering senior‑living and health‑care services. In response to the 2019 cyberattack, ABHM demonstrated a rapid containment effort, restored operations without paying a ransom, and subsequently strengthened its security posture through forensic analysis, updated password policies, and continuous monitoring. These actions reflect a commitment to protecting resident information and maintaining trust among the individuals and families it serves. While specific ownership details beyond its nonprofit affiliation are not disclosed in the available sources, the organization functions as an independent entity within the broader American Baptist tradition.
