National Lutheran Home: More than a century of experience in senior living
A new concept in retirement living, continuing care and home health is coming to the Shenandoah Valley.
By creating The Village at Orchard Ridge, National Lutheran Home (NLH) is advancing the concept of continuing care retirement community living in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, including a forward-thinking approach to assisted living, nursing care and home health.
Since its founding in 1890, NLH, a faith-based, not-for-profit organization, has built on its strong foundation of experience, providing outstanding service and care to older adults. NLH is affiliated with the Metropolitan Washington, D.C., Virginia, and Delaware-Maryland Synods of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and owns and operates a continuing care retirement community in Rockville, Maryland. NLH is non-denominational and serves all residents without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, or the plan under which they join our community.
The NLH Mission (Circa 1890): To provide for aged persons whose circumstances may require a comfortable residence with board, clothing, employment, medical attention and such other comforts as Christian brotherhood may dictate.
