The Wartburg Adult Care Community is proud to be in its 144th year of service to the community.
What the Lutheran minister, Reverend William A. Passavant, began as The Wartburg Orphans' Farm School in 1866 has evolved to become a community dedicated to helping seniors live with dignity, whether in their own homes or on our campus.
Through it all, our mission has remained steadfast -- nurturing body, mind and spirit.
We're not just assisted living, skilled nursing, or independent living. Not just rehab and respite and hospice. We offer home care, day services, and support to caregivers in a variety of ways. We also provide outreach to local parishes, senior centers, and civic organizations.
As we look back on the many ways we have cared - and continue to care - for our neighbors, we look forward to another 140 years of caring, compassion, and commitment.
