A Story of Grace for the Ages.
It started with a sermon in Chicago and 26 cents. With a shared belief that our elders—the faithful stewards of our community—should always have a comfortable, secure home filled with loving kindness and God’s grace. Like fishes and loaves, Lutheran Life Communities multiplied. Strengthening and nourishing the lives of older adults and their families, across generations.
A mission to connect.
As a faith-based organization, our work is the sincere response to a call to serve. We live our mission every day, in all we do: We empower Grace-Filled living across all generations. Our not-for-profit status means that we answer to our residents and team members. Our resources are reinvested back into the organization and the communities we serve, enhancing our ability to meet their needs and exceed their expectations.
A plan for generations to come.
As we look toward tomorrow, our dedication to high-level performance based on high-quality standards demands we innovate and evolve. With a razor-sharp focus on resident and team member empowerment, operational excellence, financial stewardship, purposeful growth and our mission-driven culture, Lutheran Life Communities stand ready to meet the challenge.
