Eben Ezer Lutheran Care Center sits in a peaceful rural area and serves as a faith-based community for seniors, with care and support rooted in Christian principles and a mission to help people live fulfilling, meaningful lives with as much independence and health as they can manage, so what you'll find there is a bunch of living options across one campus, like the Dahms Talton and Arbor buildings where they do assisted living, the Madsen and Deaconess buildings for long-term care, the Evergreen and Sommerlyst neighborhoods for memory care, Elim for people who need rehabilitation after a health issue, and Tabor Apartments for independent living with options for low-income folks through subsidized housing-all connected by walkways with each place designed for certain needs or levels of support, which means folks who move there could find themselves staying as their health or abilities change over time.
They're a non-profit with support from the Eben Ezer Lutheran Care Center Foundation, and you'll see fundraising and donation activities going on, which keep different programs running and help update or renovate areas, since places like this always need a bit of sprucing up or extra services, and being a registered Eden Alternative Campus, they aim to create a real sense of community that looks out for residents' physical, social, emotional, and spiritual health, offering 24-hour service and whole-person care while valuing integrity, trust, and a faith perspective.
Apartments come in one- and two-bedroom layouts with kitchen appliances, and places like the Evergreens Memory Care unit stay locked for safety and use Wanderguard features, and Lifeline technology pops up in apartments for emergency help, and around the campus you'll notice inviting living spaces, spacious common areas, private rooms, and secured outdoor gardens, plus a fitness area and wellness programs to keep folks active. There's everything from skilled nursing and nursing home services to occupational, physical, and speech therapy, and they also help with medication reminders, health care, and housekeeping or laundry so seniors can keep their dignity and autonomy, while guests can visit, park easily, and share meals in communal dining rooms.
Specialized care plans get arranged for everyone by staff including part-time nurses and trained helpers, and since they're big on community, you'll find worship services, spiritual support, social events, games or outings, hobby groups, and a salon service-not to mention transportation for errands or appointments, therapy after surgery, respite care for short-term needs, and home care programs. They've got options for every stage, with memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and independent or assisted living, all supported by a strong commitment to quality, safety-such as data protection-and attention to each person, whether someone enjoys quiet time, gardening, chatting at large gatherings, or joining recreational activities.
