Whether you are looking for long-term or short-term care, Lutheran Home - Winston-Salem offers compassionate care and personal attention to people of all faiths. In 2001, Lutheran Home - Winston-Salem joined a long tradition of quality care when its operation was assumed by Lutheran Services for the Aging. Now, as a not-for-profit organization, Lutheran Home - Winston-Salem is able to devote its financial resources to innovation and continuous quality improvement. Recent grants from generous donors have financed the renovation of the home's therapy services and Lutheran Home - Winston-Salem is now able to provide state-of-the-art rehabilitation services for short-term or long-term care.

Like its affiliates, Lutheran Home - Winston-Salem is part of the Lutheran Wellspring Alliance of the Carolinas, a healthcare collaborative formed to improve quality of life and quality of care for nursing home residents. The alliance encourages innovative and non-traditional ways of providing care, restructuring the environment, and empowering staff. The program also encourages collaboration where the sharing of ideas, resources and data strengthens the quality of the services provided. Grants from the North Carolina Coalition for Long Term Care Enhancement, The Duke Endowment and the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust have funded the program.
