A Generation of Growth
Through our Generation of Growth campaign, we’re reaching out to an ever-expanding Lutheran community and residents of all faiths.
As part of this growth initiative, we’re building two new beautiful campuses on Fort Wayne’s far north side to expand and strengthen our 80-year-old mission to faithfully serve older adults and their families.
While we believe this growth is essential to the long-term health of Lutheran Life Villages, we’re not forgetting our heritage, our roots. So, first we’re turning our attention to our Fort Wayne community—or “Legacy Campus”—on South Anthony Boulevard, where we’re investing $650,000 to further enhance quality living for those who call it home.
Strengthening the Founding Roots
Our $650,000 “Extreme Home Makeover” on the Fort Wayne campus will include upgrades in several areas:
Independent Living—There will be complete renovations of the common areas on the remaining three-and-a-half floors. A warm and inviting Family Welcome Center with great-room ambiance will be created in the entrance area and include a bistro, window seats, and family dining room with french doors.
Assisted Living and Health Center—Assembly Hall will become a comprehensive wellness center with additional space for new equipment. The main lobby will be transformed into a multipurpose family activity center for special gatherings. New flooring, fans, and furniture will help provide a warm welcome in the main entrance patio. Dining room upgrades will include additional private sitting areas, new furniture, lighting, and other aesthetic touches. The connecting outdoor porch will be renovated. Courtyard 3 will receive a facelift, and a pavilion will be added. The bathing facilities will be converted into six new “spa-like” private-care areas.
Again, improvements to our Fort Wayne campus are just the beginning in our Generation of Growth campaign. We’re also planning a host of upgrades to enhance the lives of residents on our Kendallville campus.
Additional Areas of Growth
The two most ambitious phases of our Generation of Growth will be the new communities not far from the new Parkview Regional Medical Center on the northern outskirts of Fort Wayne.
Our new state-of-the-art skilled nursing and rehabilitation community will be situated on nine acres in the 9900 block of Coldwater Road. With an anticipated opening in the spring of 2012, this campus will provide services to 84 residents and employ 100 people.
Next up is an upscale residential-living and assisted-living community on 40 acres along Coldwater Road north of Union Chapel Road.
The amenities and services provided in both of these new communities will raise the standard for retirement living in northeast Indiana.
We hope you’ll join us in our Generation of Growth campaign—as a financial supporter—and as a resident on one of current or future campuses.
