Lutheran Homes didn't have enough of what we were looking for. They only did one meal a day, and they did not provide transportation if you needed to go to the doctor or anything like that. It was much more just a place to live, and you are on your own. We only met one woman, and she was the PR person. We didn't see anybody who lived there either, and that was one thing that surprised me. We did not see any residents, so I don't know whether it was just the wrong time of the day or if they all just stayed in their apartments or what.

We are going to the Lutheran Village at Wolf Creek. They are controlled by the Lutheran Society. We chose this place because the monthly rate was quite a bit lower than a couple of the other ones we looked at, and everybody we talked to said they really love it there. The campus is beautiful. It is just so well kept up. The staff seemed to perfectly willing to work with us in all ways. The residents that we met there all seemed really happy with everything. We are moving into the ILF, and we have a small apartment -- a two-bedroom, bath and a half apartment. They have different apartments. They are versatile in what you really want and need. Regarding food, they only serve dinner. As for activities, the reason why we are going there was because you are free to do what you want to do. You don't have to stay at their building to do everything. They do have workshops for men and women. They do have a couple of workout rooms and craft rooms. They have bus services available to take you to the doctor, and they go shopping once a week. If you don't want to drive yourself, you can use that facility.
