Wittenberg Village: Lutheran Life Communities sits on a 47-acre tree-lined campus in Crown Point, Indiana, and offers seniors plenty of living options with villas, cottages, and apartments fitted for both independent and assisted living, including specialized memory care and skilled nursing. The grounds have landscaped gardens, walking paths, a scenic pond, patios with umbrella tables, raised garden beds, and outdoor dining areas, plus a big gazebo and well-kept lawns, so there are lots of places to sit, walk, or spend time outside. People living here have maintenance-free homes, and all the usual chores like housekeeping, laundry, and linen changes are included, which makes things a lot easier for seniors. Meal plans offer three chef-prepared meals a day served with care in restaurant-style dining rooms with high, wood-beamed ceilings and white table linens, and there are also private kitchens in the apartments with oak cabinets for residents who like to cook on their own.
The buildings include a main lobby with a grand staircase, a chapel full of light for devotional and worship services, lounges with fireplaces, a handy computer lab, a recreation room with billiards, and a library set up with TV and game tables. For staying active, there's a fitness center with treadmills and ellipticals, and for those who need therapy, on-site outpatient physical, occupational, and speech therapy is available. Staff stay on site around the clock to offer help with daily needs, and there's a personal emergency call system available 24/7. Wittenberg Village also offers scheduled transportation for appointments, shopping, or local outings, and community buses go to local attractions like the Art Institute of Chicago and university events. The community welcomes pets, and for folks who like gardening, there are special garden beds to tend.
Programs here do a good job at keeping life interesting, with regular historical talks, movie nights, Lunch & Learn sessions about life plan living, educational workshops, and event series that touch on community living, finances, and history like "The Art of Simplifying - Life Plan Edition" and "The Journey of Mollie's War." The place sees socializing as important and hosts gatherings both onsite and offsite, so there's always something going on, whether that's a simple get-together, a seminar, or a group trip. There's support for all faiths with a full-time chaplain, and programs for those with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia are available too, all in settings designed for comfort and ease.
Residences are roomy, with options for studios, one-bedrooms, or larger cottages and villa homes, many sporting private patios, laundry, garages, walk-in closets, wide driveways, and climate control. Assisted living options at Hearthstone feature easy-access bathrooms and walk-in showers for safety. Wi-Fi is available throughout, the grounds are handicap accessible, and there's on-site beautician service. Wittenberg Village keeps a community feel, values education, welcomes all backgrounds, and provides a safe and lively place for seniors to call home while allowing them to enjoy both peace and plenty of activity.
