It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Today we had our Christmas party with a surprise appearance from the Grinch. He was caught trying to take the presents. After reminding him of what he said “To kindness and love, the things we need the most”, he let Mr. and Mrs. Claus deliver gifts to our residents. We enjoyed homemade cookies from the churches and music by Larry Klitzke. All of us here at Lutheran Retirement Home would like to wish you a Merry Christmas ❤️💚.

Lutheran Retirement Home (LRH) in Northwood, Iowa has provided area families with exceptional nursing care since 1962. To address community needs, services and facilities both have grown significantly during the last 63 years. LRH now provides a continuum of high-quality services – skilled nursing care, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and physical / occupational therapy – all provided in a caring, compassionate, and homelike atmosphere. Our Northwood nursing home has some real needs right now, and we’re asking for support for anyone who feels led to give. LRH has not been spared the dual challenges of aging facilities and limited financial reimbursement. Since these repairs and upgrades are high- cost items, our fundraising goal is set at a 1,000,000. Anything you can give will help.

We’re raising funds to help with:
• Roof repairs
• Fixing our Ac unit
• New windows
• New electric beds for residents
• New carpet
• Payroll support for our caring staff
• New Generator

These updates would make a big difference in the comfort and safety of the residents we love so much.
If you feel called to help, any amount is appreciated more than you know. And if you can’t your shares mean just as much.
You can make checks out to Lutheran Retirement Home and write fundraiser in the memo.
