Independent Living in Wauwatosa, WI
An abundance of choices
At Luther Manor, life feels energized and purposeful. Throughout the community, you’ll find opportunities to share a laugh, try new things and make friends — from a game of Sheepshead or cribbage to dartball and billiards to teaching a neighbor to knit. You can build in the woodshop or head to the train room to enjoy the model railroad layout.
And, that’s just the beginning. There are clubs and outings and special events for virtually every interest. Plus, residents are actively engaged in the community, volunteering their time and talents, serving on committees and resident councils, and leading the way to develop and coordinate programs. Our dedicated staff and management listen, lend a hand and provide support for it all.
