You are the most important part of the Lutheran Retirement Communities mission!

Services to seniors inspired by 121 years of ministry

Our 121-year heritage as National Lutheran Home for the Aged is important to us. Now, moving forward as National Lutheran Communities & Services (NLCS), we are not resting on our laurels. We are fulfilling an even bigger vision of thriving retirement communities and new senior services.  From additional services at The Village at Rockville to the construction of The Village at Orchard Ridge, NLCS is preparing for an exciting future.

More than a service provider, every program of NLCS is part of a ministry, designed to meet a family’s spiritual, social, emotional and physical needs. NLCS was founded as a serving agency of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and is supported by the Delaware-Maryland, Virginia and Metropolitan D.C. Synods. Our services are open to people of all faiths. More than 55 percent of our family members are non-Lutheran. Contact us to learn how our traditions and plans can bring new enrichment to your life.
