Lutheran Home and Cottages sits on a pretty campus and is part of LutheranCare®, a faith-based, nonprofit group that's been around since 1919, and you'll find people here from all backgrounds since they offer regular worship and holiday services for every faith, with on-campus chapels and full-time chaplains for spiritual support, which is something families usually want for peace of mind, and in this community, folks can choose from independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, home health care, and adult day care, so residents can stay in one place even as their needs change, and there's a broad stretch of help whether someone needs just a bit of daily support or full nursing and memory care.
There's a range of places to live, like studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments as well as semi-private rooms, all with things like cable TV, Wi-Fi, telephone access, and emergency call systems in both rooms and bathrooms, plus ground floor units for easy access, so no need to worry about getting around, and the rooms come furnished for those who want them ready right away, but you can always bring favorite chairs and photos if that's what feels right. Memory-care cottages are set up with bright colors and special layouts, which help folks with dementia or Alzheimer's find their way and stay safe, plus the Dementia Neighborhood gives extra support for people who have Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or need palliative care, making it a safer spot with special supervision at all hours.
Meals come with plenty of options, including gluten-free, kosher, vegetarian, no-sugar, low-sodium, vegan, and others, so even people with allergies or special diets can eat in the restaurant-style dining room or take their meals to-go for a small fee, and you'll see friendly staff helping with medication management, bathing, dressing, transfers, and daily tasks, as well as housekeepers handling laundry and even dry cleaning, which takes a big burden off. Lutheran Home and Cottages has lounges and a library where you can read quietly or visit with friends, as well as indoor and outdoor common spaces, walking paths, and gardens for getting some fresh air or just sitting among the flowers. The secured courtyard for memory care is meant for safe outdoor time.
There are lots of activities, which is good for people who like to keep busy, including daily stretching, trivia, yoga, art classes, Wii bowling, movie nights, BBQs, birthday parties, and community-sponsored gatherings, and folks get to go out on day trips, happy hours, devotional outings, and even live music performances. There's also a wellness center, on-site beautician for haircuts or grooming, and special brain fitness programs, while the adult day care and rehab services serve people who don't live on campus but still want to join for parts of the day or for therapy after hospital stays. On top of that, transportation services and on-site parking make it easier for families to visit or for residents to get to appointments, and Lutheran Home and Cottages tries to make life a bit simpler with good daily support, medical care always nearby, and activities that help people stay connected, safe, and comfortable, all in a place that believes in dignity, respect, and happiness for everyone who lives there.
