As a developing Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), Lutheran Homes will offer a full range of lifestyle choices. From complete independence to full assistance by offering Town Homes, Independent Living apartments, Assisted Living apartments, Dementia Care, and Skilled Nursing Care, we'll be able to provide the right level of care to meet the needs of our community.

It is often tempting to prolong decision making with the comment, "I'm not ready yet." Whether you select a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) or choose another option eventually, it is important to plan your living arrangements carefully and early so you can direct your own future.

What distinguishes continuing care from other housing options?
Continuing care retirement communities offer an innovative and independent lifestyle for single and married older adults. This type of community is different from other housing and care options for older people because it provides housing services and nursing care, usually all in one location. The Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) continues to meet your needs in a familiar setting as you grow older. As a resident, you can take advantage of a wide variety of activities and services conveniently offered within the community. There are no restrictions on lifestyle. You can continue to travel, volunteer and enjoy life outside the community as much as you like. The CCRC's emphasis on the individual, coupled with a supportive environment, allows you to continue to pursue your lifelong interests.
