Lutheran Social Ministries of Maryland’s Life Plan Communities, Carroll Lutheran Village in Westminster, MD and Lutheran Village at Miller’s Grant in Ellicott City, MD, were recently awarded for excellence. For the second time, CLV was awarded Best Nursing Home by U.S. News & World Report and Carroll’s Best for the twelfth consecutive year. Lutheran Village at Miller’s Grant was awarded Best of Howard for the sixth straight year.
After evaluating nearly 15,000 nursing homes on patient and resident outcomes, U.S. News & World Report awarded CLV Best Nursing Home for its short-term rehabilitation. Community residents and older adults in the surrounding counties benefit from CLV’s short-term rehabilitation, which includes physical, occupational and speech therapy.
Carroll’s Best was awarded based on votes from Carroll County Times readers. The publication’s readers voted for and awarded CLV as the best in three categories: Best Retirement Community, Best Assisted Living and Best Nursing Home. Similarly, Best of Howard was awarded based on votes by Howard Magazine’s readers. Having been recognized by residents of the counties where the Life Plan Communities reside is a testament that they are an asset to the counties and the residents they serve.
With two apartment buildings recently renovated, CLV now provides the newest senior living apartments in Carroll County. New changes are also in store for LVMG. The community is expanding by adding a new independent living building, Performing Arts Center/Chapel and gastro pub as well as enlarging its Health Care Center and assisted living area, which will include a new memory care neighborhood. These community projects contribute to the communities’ growth and commitment to creating spaces that satisfy the needs of its residents.
“Both of our Life Plan Communities being awarded and recognized is an honor and shows our commitment and dedication to serving older adults to give them the best service and place to call home,” stated Jeff Branch, president and CEO of LSMMD, the managing organization for CLV and LVMG.
LSMMD thrives in creating communities that provide excellent service, friendly professional teams, beautiful views, modern residences and great amenities. The awards that both communities received are the fruit of its work, dedication and passion for helping older adults
