American Lutheran communities

In 1948, the Eau Claire and Hudson circuits of the Ecumenical Lutheran Churches of America started the American Lutheran Homes. It operates various residential care units. It has a more than 81-bed skilled nursing facility located in Mondovi, Wis., and serves both rehabilitative and long-term care residents in a caring, Christian environment. It focuses on meeting the physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs of its residents in a home-like setting. Residents and families participate in an individualized care plan with its interdisciplinary care team and physician involvement. The center also provides physical, speech and occupational therapies; hospice care; private rooms; and medical transportation. American Lutheran Homes is sponsored by more than 20 Lutheran congregations and is affiliated with the Evengelical Lutheran Church in America.
