“Our non-profit community is built around creating activities to help our residents age actively,” said Jennifer Darnell, vice president of sales and marketing. “Many people have the misconception that once you move into a nursing home, you can’t move again. We want to support Arlington Heights elders this holiday season who want to make the move but feel stuck and aren’t sure where to start.
“Lutheran Home will help cover the moving costs for new assisted living residents. Studies show seniors are healthier when they are part of an active and engaging community like Lutheran Home. We look forward to welcoming new residents this holiday season.”

From upscale assisted living apartment homes and private skilled nursing suites with tailored support services, social and education opportunities, fitness classes and made-from-scratch dining, Lutheran Home has designed a welcoming environment to help residents maintain cognitive abilities and social connections. Because moving is often an obstacle for older adults, they also offer comprehensive move-in services to provide peace of mind for anyone needing extra help settling into their new home.
Timing is also important to consider with a move; if seniors move before Christmas, they’ll experience the Lutheran Home holidays and the beautiful and spiritual nature of the community. Living in a community allows older adults to enjoy an easier lifestyle without home maintenance, including snow and ice removal, or other responsibilities.
