Luther Manor - Community Services

Located in partner congregations, Luther Manor now sponsors nine senior centers throughout the Greater Milwaukee area. Each year these centers provide seniors with meals, educational programs, worship services, Bible study, recreational tours, health screenings, service projects, and social fellowship. Luther Manor is hosting the symposium "The Power of Ages: Creating a Vision for Senior Adult Ministry for the Church in the 21st Century" on Saturday, June 23, 2007. Click here for more information.

Educational Programs

A variety of educational offerings enhances independent living and promotes lifelong health and growth. Workshops and presentations help people maintain physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.

Parish Nurse Program

In partnership with congregations, our parish nurses help seniors and their families cope with the challenges of aging through consultation, guidance and assessment of health needs. They link seniors with community resources and healthcare professionals, and teach healthier living through exercise, diet and preventative health care.

Care Management

Luther Manor provides contracted care managment services to older adults in Milwaukee County who are enrolled in the Family Care Program.

Information and Referral Services
Luther Manor's professional staff offer information and referrals to a wide variety of health, housing, recreation and social service options to help address problems and discover solutions.

Support Groups
Luther Manor co-sponsors support groups for seniors, family members and caregivers. Convenient meeting times and locations allow participants to share experiences, strength and hope. Adult Day Services give caregivers a break from the full-time responsibilities of caring for a loved one at home, especially those coping with Alzheimer's disease (See Adult Day Center on this Web Site)
