Experience Matters
For 119 years we have specialized in the skilled nursing care of people 65 years and older, working to help them maintain quality of life and their functional abilities. Whether someone has physical or memory challenges, our history is one where people receive care that is compassionate and respectful.
Skilled Nursing Care
Residents at the National Lutheran Home & Village at Rockville receive care 24 hours a day/7 days a week from Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and Geriatric Certified Nursing Assistants (GNAs). Our Senior Care team brings a specialized expertise to the care of older adults.
Individualized Resident Plans
Based upon a comprehensive assessment of each resident’s needs, a customized Plan of Care is created. With the input of the resident and family, this plan enables a coordinated effort by our caring interdisciplinary team, including the physician, nursing, social worker, therapists, dietitian and others. Resident meal preferences are also identified.
Physician & Medical Services
Three attending physicians provide primary care. AdditionalSenior Care clinical consultants include a podiatrist, audiologist, ophthalmologist, dentist, psychiatrist, psychologist, optometrist, orthopaedist and physiatrist. Medication therapy is reviewed monthly by consultant pharmacists.
Daily Quality of Life
Enjoyment. A sense of purpose. Things that give life meaning. These are at the heart of the activities and amenities of the National Lutheran Home & Village. From a book read next to the fireplace, a piano concert in Lang Hall, a meal shared with family and friends in one of our multiple dining venues, to a crafts or gardening project in our activities center, there is always something to engage and delight.
