Lutheran Community at Telford offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and a dedicated Memory Care program, giving residents options that match both their health needs and lifestyle preferences. The community is equipped to manage advanced dementia and a wide range of medical concerns, including wandering (daytime or nighttime), elopement risk, behavioral changes, wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes management—whether residents use oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin.
A licensed nurse is on-site around the clock, backed by additional RN/LPN coverage, awake night staff, and an activity director who tailors programming to each care level. All team members undergo background checks, and security features include 24-hour staffing, pull-cord alerts, personal emergency response systems, and routine rounds. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments. For daily living, staff can provide complete assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Mobility support ranges from walker or wheelchair help to one- or two-person transfers and bed-bound care.
Residences vary in size and layout; some come furnished, others allow residents to bring their own pieces. Select units include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the space. Because features differ from room to room, it is best to confirm availability when touring.
Meals are prepared by the culinary team and served on a set menu, yet an on-order option lets residents request alternatives at each sitting. Snacks are available throughout the day, and the kitchen staff works closely with nursing to align meal plans with physician-ordered diets, diabetic requirements, and other nutritional modifications.
The campus provides resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber/beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, library, pool, and landscaped communal gardens. Internet access, concierge services, on-site religious services, and scheduled transportation—plus proximity to public transit—support convenience and community involvement. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
