Compassionate Care

About the Healthcare Center Project

Faced with growing demand for care and new insights into optimum care delivery, the Lutheran Community at Telford has the opportunity to build a new center that will provide a comfortable setting for our frail residents.With the philanthropic support from the surrounding community supplementing other financial resources, LCT will be able to create this new center without significantly increasing resident fees.

The expansion and updates will include:

• A four-story building including a Memory Support Unit for residents suffering from Alzheimer's Disease and other memory loss conditions
• Improved living quarters with double the personal living space and more privacy
• Space in each living area for personal belongs and a sitting area
• European baths with full showers in each room
• Large windows in each room that can be opened to the outdoors
• Comfortable, intimate dining
• Greater choice of activities and programs for resident participation
• Greater freedom to move about, socialize and enjoy the outdoors

About the New Memory Support Unit

The Memory Support Unit will balance security needs with dignity and independence for each resident. This state of the art center will provide a safe and comfortable home for residents with Alzheimer's and other memory loss conditions.

The unit will feature:

• An activity space
• An enclosed outdoor courtyard
• A country-kitchen style dining area
• A guest room for family members who may need to spend the night

About Lutheran Community at Telford

Compassion. Commitment. Dignity. These are the cornerstones of Lutheran Community at Telford. Founded in 1957 by 12 Pastors and their congregations in response to the growing need for quality care for elder parishioners, LCT currently serves a diverse group of seniors from all faiths, while continuing to reflect the values and loving care upon which we were initially built.

While we continue in the founding spirit of providing a sense of community that enables elders to thrive, we recognize the need to update our facility to better care for our current residents and respond to the expanding needs of the surrounding Bucks and Montgomery counties.

About The Compassionate Care Campaign

As part of our strategic planning process, LCT has conducted extensive analyses to assess the growth projections for the local community, and the need for senior care services. Large parts of Bucks and Montgomery counties are experiencing rapid growth. LCT, located centrally within the growth corridor, stands in the forefront of the changing needs of both dementia and nursing care.

The goal of the Compassionate Care Campaign, the first in Lutheran Community at Telford's 53 year history, is to raise $2.5 million to aid in the construction of our new Healthcare Center. Projections on the rapid growth in the senior population age 65 and older, highlight the need for this new construction. The Healthcare Center will allow us to continue to provide exceptional, progressive and comprehensive levels of care that our residents deserve, desire and require as they age.
