During our upcoming open house event, experience firsthand what makes our senior living communities unique! On Saturday, October 18, both Luther Acres in Lititz and St. John’s Herr Estate in Columbia will be open to tour as part of Lancaster’s countywide “Explore Retirement Living” Open House. 

From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., visitors will enjoy classic tailgate snacks, good company, and a fun football atmosphere — all while touring our beautiful communities. Explore apartments and cottages, learn about our fantastic amenities and services available, and talk with current residents. Team members will be available to answer your questions about the move-in process and discuss the options available to personalize an apartment or cottage. Visitors can look over our custom flooring samples, paint swatches, and cabinetry selections. Plus, you can register for a chance to win two Penn State football tickets and a PSU-themed gift basket. Attendees do not need to pre-register. 

Luther Acres, 600 E. Main St., Lititz, is located just steps away from charming downtown Lititz. The community features many different apartment and cottage homes in a variety of floor plans, as well as on-site personal care, skilled nursing care, and rehabilitation services. During the open house, attendees should follow signs for registration at either the Towne Center or the Muhlenberg Apartment Building. At the registration desks, visitors will receive a packet of information and a map to tour at your own pace. Shuttle service will be available.  

New this year, discover our new neighborhood at Luther Acres, comprised of 37 brand-new, maintenance-free cottages! Nestled right next to everything you already love about Lititz, this new neighborhood offers comfort, connection, and the peace of mind that comes with Luthercare’s trusted continuum of care.

For anyone who is curious about what life is like at a Luthercare community, the day is a great opportunity to learn about our many senior living options and our network of services. Both communities offer maintenance-free living, giving residents time to focus on their interests, passions, and hobbies. Residents, and their families, also have peace of mind that should their health needs change, they have access to on-site personal care services and rehabilitation and skilled nursing care services through Luthercare’s network of services.
