The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society

Independent living - has been a growing part of the society's ministry for many years. With about 10,000 people retiring each and every day in the united states - and with ever-increasing numbers occurring in future years - the provision of senior living/housing will take on increasing importance in years to come. The society recognizes this growth and has made expansion of senior living services and locations a major part of this corporate strategic planning. Campuses feature attractive grounds; a variety of common space and multi-purpose rooms for resident and family interaction and community gatherings; libraries and reading rooms; dining services; cable tv and phone service; and the availability of computer/internet services to allow and encourage electronic connectivity with family and friends. Further, various senior learning opportunities are provided on senior living campuses in addition to the spiritual and social programs offered in rehabilitation/skilled nursing services and assisted living.
