About Wartburg Lutheran Services
For more than 130 years, Wartburg Lutheran Services,
Inc., has been a ministry of healing, hospitality, and community
through partnerships in caring. We are a Social Ministry Organization
of the Lutheran Church that serves individuals regardless of religious
or ethnic background, offering compassionate care through our growing
community of nursing homes, adult day health care programs, home
delivered meals, long term home health care services, and independent
housing for seniors.
Wartburg builds Life Enhancing Communities
to help elderly and disabled individuals live life to the fullest,
without sacrificing their dignity, their individuality, or their
independence.
The People and Communities
We Serve
A recognized and respected Social Ministry Organization, Wartburg
offers its services every day of the week to more than 1700 people
at seven sites throughout eastern New York State. Wartburg’s
ministries include:
- nursing homes

All services are provided to all people regardless of religious

An Agency of the Church
Wartburg is a social ministry agency of the Lutheran Church. It
enjoys official recognition by and affiliation with the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America and the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.
A consortium of Lutheran congregations elects Wartburg's Board of
Directors at an annual meeting of its delegates.
Vision
Recognizing the major shift that our society needs to make in its
relationship to the elderly, Wartburg has made a commitment that
is reflected in its vision statement. By 2010, Wartburg Lutheran
Services will transform long term care by creating Life-Enhancing
Communities. Life-Enhancing Communities means less institutionalization,
more individuality; less loss of freedom for those who need care,
more emphasis on living life to the full. Life-Enhancing Communities
will offer a full range of medical, social, and spiritual services
and, at the same time, preserve and sustain the dignity of every
individual.
