Carroll Lutheran Village - a Lutheran Social Ministries of Maryland Community Information

Carroll Lutheran Village is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 continuing care retirement community situated in the picturesque outskirts of Westminster, MD yet within easy reach of Baltimore, Annapolis, Washington, D.C. and other cultural centers. The concept of Carroll Lutheran Village reaches back to the mid-1970s when 21 Lutheran pastors and lay leaders formed a non-profit corporation to serve older adults of all faiths. This group of visionaries determined that there was a need in the community for faith-based advanced care for aging adults in the community that was not being met elsewhere. They raised funds, purchased 40 acres in 1979 and in 1980 opened eight cottages. The Health Care Center opened in 1981 with skilled care, followed by the first apartment building in 1983. A second apartment building opened in 1988. Thanks to generous gifts from Village residents, Krug Chapel, the Good Shepherd Way memory care wing and the Diven House assisted living wing opened in 1998. After 50 adjoining acres were acquired, an additional 90 apartments and 52 homes and 52 homes were built in 2005 and 2006. A wide variety of living choices and options, resort-like amenities, emphasis on wellness, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere provide an exceptional retirement experience. Assisted living, rehabilitation, therapy services, memory care, and long-term care services are available on campus should they be needed, along with talented and compassionate staff to expertly guide residents through each transition. Welcome home…to exceptional retirement at Carroll Lutheran Village!
