Hear from the Inside Source.

Our residents are our best advocates. Here are just a few stories from across our four communities.

“We believe life blossoms at Luther Oaks. It really expands your life. I’m out and about every single day, but love coming home to all the good things happening here. It’s like living in a hotel. Concierge-service, a wonderful dining venue, fitness center and so much security.”

Wayne & Shirley Brown, Luther Oaks

“Everything here is good! I do everything I want to do and my guests think it is lovely. The highlight for me is that I can continue with my music.”

Lorraine, Assisted Living Resident, Lutheran Home

“My husband and I moved here from Matton, IL. We left a state with growing taxes to be close to our growing grandkids. Now, I have not just family but many great friends here. It was the smart choice.”

Judy Nack, Wittenberg Village

“The team at Pleasant View is like family. They made the moving process easy for me by providing resources and recommendations as well as coaching throughout the transition. I love Pleasant View! It is quintessentially Ottawa.”

Pleasant View Resident

“I wake up every day with so much purpose. As residents, we can champion the lifestyle we want. The garden club, walking in Wittenberg Woods Park, working out with my personal trainer. And it’s pet-friendly. My beautiful cat is at home here, too.”

Laura Baue, Luther Oaks

“Having the children here at Shepherd’s Flock Preschool is really an asset. I love to see their precious faces.”

Ceil, Hearthstone Resident, Lutheran Home

“Our two-bedroom Garden Villa with an attached garage is true independent living. We have the space and privacy we want, but so enjoy gathering around the table for chef-prepared dining with friends. All with the promise of lifetime care.”

Wendy & Bev Smith, Wittenberg Village

“It’s reassuring to know that we have lifetime care, all right here under one roof. We’re both busy with our own interests but we’ve met other lifelong learners who are great fun to talk with. We love to travel. It’s nice to just lock and leave our apartment, knowing it will all be safe and secure when we get home.”

Don and Mary Davis, Luther Oaks

“I was always very committed to exercise. I go to MyVitality classes twice a week and I walk outside to see all the different garden areas.”

Bob, Assisted Living Resident, Lutheran Home

“Living at Wittenberg Village is keeping me healthy. That’s my goal. To stay healthy and stay right here. We’re all family now – each other’s family.”

Joan Halstein, Wittenberg Village

“I just can’t believe all the talent at Luther Oaks. The residents have worked in a wide-variety of professions and traveled the globe. Sometimes, after dinner, a resident plays classical music on the baby grand in the dining room. What a treat. It’s the social aspect of living in community. We just have a lot of fun. It’s keeping me young.”

Bob Connor, Luther Oaks

“Two years ago I made a decision to move into Hearthstone, and it has been wonderful. My apartment is bright, cheery, spacious and very clean. The housekeeping staff does an amazing job keeping my apartment and all of Hearthstone clean. I have access to WiFi and complete HD cable, which I enjoy. The grounds are so beautiful with walking areas. I have enjoyed the nature and the feeling of being out in the country. Hearthstone does promote dignity, respect and privacy, which is amazing.”

Assisted Living Resident, Lutheran Home

“I moved from Milwaukee. I looked at senior living communities there, but my apartment here is so much nicer and less expensive! I have underground parking in a heated garage, a balcony that looks out on the pond, and so much to do with so many good people.”

Marianne “Buzz” Martin, Wittenberg Village
