Our mission
The mission of Luther Manor is to share
God’s love by enriching the lives of older adults
through excellent housing, care and services.
Our philosophy
The philosophy of Luther Manor is to fulfill our mission and vision by
collaborating with clients, their families (advocates) and staff members to ensure
that actual and perceived needs are assessed and addressed in ways that:
• Affirm and nurture the spirituality of each person.
• Retain client participation in decision making.
• Preserve and expand personal choices and client (service) options.
• Promote and foster independence and personal autonomy.
• Maintain a service-rich environment of caring among clients, families,
volunteers and staff members.
• Utilize Luther Manor programs and services, as well as those available
through the broader community.
Our vision
Guided by our Christian heritage and shared values, we consistently strive
to exceed the expectations of those we serve. We seek to provide environments
that contribute to the wholeness of body, mind and spirit for all persons who
encounter Luther Manor. We respond to changing needs by providing a network
of information and services to our constituents and to the older adults of our
community. We are open and receptive to collaborative efforts with other
organizations and encourage others to share our mission. We will be recognized
for excellence in providing housing and services for older adults in the Greater
Milwaukee area.

In addition to highlights and accomplishments, financial information and donor and volunteer lists, the Luther Manor
2010 Annual report features works of art crafted by Luther Manor residents and day services participants. The creations
that grace the inner pages of this publication represent only a small sample of the gallery of paintings, sculptures and
mixed media creations on display within the community. The painting providing the backdrop for the cover of the Luther
Manor 2010 Annual Report was created by Adult Day Services participant, Joanne Hintz and will be displayed at Carroll
University in 2011.
The photos displayed on the cover and the following pages paint a picture of the caring, faithful community of neighbors
and friends that is Luther Manor.

A year of affirmation
“I am at complete peace when
she is there. I love it.”
A family member of a Luther Manor
Adult Day Services participant
“Thank you for all the services you provided. Your sacrifice
to be of service is greatly appreciated.”
Family member of a resident of the Courtyards at Luther Manor
“I can’t begin to put into words what it feels like to have our
hope back. In a year, my dad has shown improvement.”
A family member of a Jump Start Brain Fitness program participant
“Exercise at Luther Manor is fun and games – music, laughter and new
friends disguise the benefits. Since taking advantage of the many fitness
opportunities at Luther Manor, I sleep better, walk steadier, breathe
deeper, feel stronger and happier and think more clearly. My blood
pressure and cholesterol are down and my friendships and moods are up.”
Terrace resident and fitness program participant
“Whenever the nurses or aides
approached Mom, they did so with
gentleness and love, speaking words
of sweetness to her and telling her
that they loved her. I thought, Lord
is this normal, or are they extending
something special for this lovely
woman. Both, I think.”
The son of a Luther Manor
Hospice Care client
“Our family would like to thank everyone involved with the excellent care our mom received
during her time of recovery at Luther Manor. You are all very dedicated “miracle workers” in
our eyes. Mom is doing well thanks to all your hard work.”
The family of a guest of the Rehabilitation Center at Luther Manor
“I just wanted to thank you for welcoming my father and also for
answering all my questions along the way. What you do must surely
be a lifesaver for hundreds of families like it is for us.”
The family of a Luther Manor Lakefield Adult Day Center participant
“Our mother enjoyed the many volunteers who made her days better. My
particular favorites were the coffee and cookie cart and the popcorn delivery –
I know Mom enjoyed these also – especially visiting with each of the volunteers.
All of the things they do help to make Luther Manor the very special place it is.”
The family of a Luther Manor Health Care Center resident
“The River Oaks staff brought joy into our mom’s life, and we were comforted
knowing she was in loving hands.”
The daughters of a Luther Manor at River Oaks resident
“The volunteers are surely angels who have come to
lighten our loads and give a gift of love and caring to
those we serve. What an example of Christian love
they set.”
Retiring Luther Manor employee
“The way I spent my summer vacation
couldn’t have been any better than working
at Luther Manor. I’ve met so many nice
people at Luther Manor. They all made me
feel very comfortable. This won’t be the last
time you’ll be seeing me, that’s for sure.”

Board of Directors and Administration Report
What an exciting time it is to be part of older-adult ministry! While the challenges and uncertainties may at times
seem to demand “too much” of our time and resource use … it is still a time of hope and we know that around
the corner are tomorrow’s answers.
Our theme for this 2010 Annual Report, “Creating…Tomorrow…Today,” seeks to reflect the essence of Luther
Manor’s 50+year heritage as we continue to share God’s love with all we meet and welcome. Our friends continue
to tell us they appreciate the spirit of the Luther Manor community where lives of faith and service are lived
and fulfilled everyday. Luther Manor continues to be a place where God’s love is shared, and where residents,
participants, family members, volunteers and staff encounter each day with hope. As members of the Luther
Manor “family community” we seek to enable and enrich each others’ life experience anew each and everyday.
The Penelope Project partnership has opened new doors to the wonderful possibilities “creative engagement”
brings to people and relationships.
We see new opportunities and challenges as we continue to endure the effects of the 2008/2009 economic
recession … inadequate Medicaid payments, depressed housing markets, uncertain occupancies, and scarcity of
capital financing. Through it all, we keep focused on our Mission – Sharing God’s Love – and we celebrate God’s
gifts of Grace with gratitude.
We continue to take our customer, client and constituent accountabilities very seriously, and our 2010 program
and fiscal results are reflected throughout this Annual Report. Together with the thousands of people stories that
reflect the “Creating…Tomorrow…Today” spirit that is Luther Manor’s hallmark, our 2010 results encourage our
continued planning and program growth. The 50-year dedication of our volunteers and staff is a living testimony
to the legacy of love, service and hope that is our future.
Sharing God’s Love also means celebrating the Home and Community-Based Service partnerships we value
and enjoy with ULPA member congregations and other strategic partners, through Adult Day Services, support
groups, Hospice Services, Parish Nursing, and our congregational Senior Ministry Initiative grant program.
Gift income continues to warrant focused attention for both ULPA and the Luther Manor Foundation. Thanks
to the philanthropy of our valued friends and donors, and the support of the Luther Manor Foundation, we
are able to continue Luther Manor’s “Creating…Tomorrow…Today” legacy. No resident has ever had to leave
Luther Manor solely because of his/her inability to pay the full cost of care. Each and every gift is vital to help us
continue this tradition and to keep our promise to future generations.
Our heritage also celebrates the gifts of our voluntary Board, Committee, Advisory Council, and Task Force
members who provide the leadership and direction to our partnership ministry. They continue to be our strong
foundation and legacy. Their unselfish dedication is a testimony to their commitment, and they continue to be
a bright beacon, helping Luther Manor to be a family of love and a “Welcome Home” place. Together with our
staff and volunteers, they provide the vital leadership necessary to ensure that we will be sharing God’s love
for tomorrow’s generations. In 2010, we acknowledged with gratitude the long-time service of Board members
Robert Long and Jeanne Prochnow, and we welcomed new Board members: Rev. Meredith Bedker Musaus and
James Hoffman, and returning Board member, Bill Schulz.
As we continue Creating Tomorrow Today and imagining the future for Luther Manor’s caring, faithful
community of members and friends, we renew ourselves each and every day. We are grateful for our mission
and all who work toward its fulfillment, and we continue to marvel at the opportunities our ministry of service
provides. We joyfully celebrate the 50-year legacy of those who have gone before us together with our tradition of
quality and innovation … and we re-invite you to actively journey with us. Ours is a future filled with hope. As
we join together to welcome our new residents, participants, clients, volunteers and staff members … we embrace
and claim our future with gratitude, trust, confidence, courage and hope. Power and Blessings to you and to
Luther Manor!

Luther Manor has continued
its ongoing commitment to the
people we serve. We continue
to provide a broad spectrum of
program offerings, both facilitybased and home-based services,
and support of our underlying
mission.
Being committed to our residents,
participants, volunteers and
employees has compelled us to
work diligently to put the pieces
in place for financial viability by
Creating Tomorrow Today. This
year’s theme could not be more
appropriate with the changing
economic environment and trends
in Senior Care, it is important to
adapt to the changing climate.
We continue to strengthen
our relationships with our
congregations and noted the 52nd
Anniversary of the Luther Manor
Auxiliary. Luther Manor received
more than $53,000 of support and
more than 29,000 cookies from
these congregations in 2010. In
addition, Luther Manor awarded
grants totaling $34,800 to 16 of our
partner congregations to support
development of innovative senior
ministry models.
Luther Manor has also worked
to deepen our community
relationships in Wauwatosa, and
the Greater Milwaukee area. Our
Penelope Project partnership with
UW-Milwaukee and Sojourn
Theater was a flagship endeavor
in 2010-2011. We believe these
relationships are the foundation
for the future of Luther Manor.
Creating Tomorrow Today
involves continuing our strong
relationships with our volunteers.
In 2010, more than 550 adult and
teen volunteers gave more than
50,000 hours of time to serving
our residents and participants
with various needs and activities.
These volunteers are crucial to
carrying out our mission.
Another part of Creating
Tomorrow Today involves
continuously launching new
programs and service offerings.
In 2010, Luther Manor successfully
launched Chives American Grill
which provides a restaurant style
dining venue for our Terrace
residents and guests. We continue
to listen to our clients as we look
at the products we offer and
evaluate their effectiveness and
utilization.
Finally, Creating Tomorrow
Today involves cultivating an
intentional culture of doing
what is right for our residents,
participants, volunteers,
employees and other stakeholders,
who believe that Luther Manor is
the culmination of sharing God’s
love and valuing one another’s
diversity.
Creating Tomorrow Today is a
fantastic theme for 2010, and an
appropriate launching pad for
2011.
The Penelope Project
When Luther Manor agreed to host and facilitate the Penelope Project,
the administration had no idea what a year-long exploration of the
myth of Penelope on a senior living campus would look like. Finding
out meant opening the doors of Luther Manor to a broad coalition
of academics and artists; rallying staff from different levels of care
around a campus-wide initiative; and finally, handing over “the keys
of creativity” to the residents.
It all began when Anne Basting, director of the Center on Age &
Community at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and an
associate professor of theatre, recognized that Homer’s Odyssey—and
specifically the tale of Penelope, who fends off 108 suitors during her
husband’s extended absence—has special resonance with residents of
long-term care facilities, whose homes are constantly trafficked with
strangers. She also suspected these residents would have a profound
understanding of what it means to wait, wait and wait. And because
Penelope struggles to recognize Odysseus when he at last returns
home, Basting saw potential for residents with memory loss to bring
meaning to bear on this classic text.
The project culminated in the performance of FINDING PENELOPE,
a professionally produced, site-specific, highly-interactive play,
staged throughout the Luther Manor Wauwatosa campus.

Our Partners
Luther Manor’s valued partnership with 73 congregations of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA),
Greater Milwaukee Synod, is a ministry that strengthens each of the partners and the people we serve. From
the early beginnings of the United Lutheran Program for the Aging, affiliated congregations have supported
this ministry through encouragement, leadership and prayers, along with the gifts of volunteer service and
financial resources. Financial contributions from nearly half of our member congregations (highlighted in bold)
support the growing number of community outreach ministries provided by Luther Manor, including the Parish
Nurse Program, Adult Day Services and community support groups. We gratefully acknowledge those partner
congregations whose gifts totaled $53,201, as well as 29,880 cookies, in 2010.
The following congregations shared this vital ministry with us as partners in 2010:

Our Senior Ministry Initiative
Luther Manor also offers the

help congregations develop their
ministries with maturing adults. The
innovative Senior Ministry Initiative
launched in 2007, offers our partner
congregations an opportunity to
create new senior ministry program
models. We provide seminars for
pastors and lay leaders, consultation
and financial grants to help
congregations establish programs to
serve seniors in their congregations,
including assistance from the
Pastoral Care department in
meeting the needs of congregation
members who live at Luther Manor,
and the use of Luther Manor as a
gathering place.

Congregational Ties
During 2010, our congregational ties and relationships continued to grow. Groups from 18 congregations
visited our Wauwatosa campus for meetings and retreats. In Ozaukee and Washington counties, the Lakefield
Health Ministries and the Adult Day Center at St. John Lutheran Church in Grafton continue to be community
resources for older adults who need social and supportive health services during daytime hours. We look
forward to embracing new and expanded partnerships in our ministry in the years to come.
Our Congregation Ambassador Program utilizes dedicated members of congregations to serve as links
between Luther Manor and their congregations. The Ambassadors facilitate a two-way flow of information.
The ultimate beneficiaries are better-informed congregation members who can be served by a stronger
older adult ministry. Members interested in serving as congregation Ambassadors are invited to contact
Linda Lueck at (414) 464-3880, ext. 304. Current Ambassadors include: Joyce Christie, Faith (Cedarburg);
Kathy Conrad, Cross of Life; Susie Hilgart, Cross of Life; Marge Jothen, Redemption; Don and Eunice
Koehler, Holy Cross; Marilyn Lange, Ascension (Milwaukee); Betty Lissack, Redemption; Betty Mattson,
Abiding Savior; Marianne Martin, Redemption; Ginny Oistad, Mount Hope; Julie Pekarske, Capitol Drive;
Ruth Rudolph, Pentecost-Divine Word; Joyce Heinrich, St. Matthew’s; Bob and Nancy Schrap, Mt. Zion;
Jean Schulz, Advent (Cedarburg); Kathy Sonntag, Whitnall Park; Betty and John Thompson, St. Mark’s
(Waukesha); Sue Wussow, Calvary; Ann Zube, Pentecost-Divine Word.
A Vital Link
Since it was formed in 1958, the Luther Manor Auxiliary (Friends of Luther Manor, effective
2011) has continued its legacy of love to benefit Luther Manor residents and participants.
During 2010, 1,797 Auxiliary members provided a vital link between our partner congregations
and Luther Manor’s ministry.
An Auxiliary Keyperson and Co-Worker team provides representation for Luther Manor in each
partner congregation. This team recruits additional Auxiliary members and publicizes Auxiliary
events and volunteer opportunities at Luther Manor.
Through membership dues of $2 per year for individual members, $50 for annual sustaining
memberships and $300 for lifetime memberships, the Auxiliary provides special gifts
each year that directly enhance the lives of Luther Manor residents as well as those
served through Luther Manor’s Home and Community-Based Service ministries,
including the Parish Nurse and Adult Day Service programs. The Auxiliary provided
generous support of special needs in 2010 through its annual list of Aims and
Objectives, including:
• Vital Signs Monitor and Stand (partial)
• Broda Chair 30VT
• Baking Pans for Activities

More than 550 volunteers ages 12 and older provide more than 50,000 hours of service
annually. The needs of residents and participants are matched with the skills and interests
of our volunteers. As a result, residents and participants are blessed with the personal,
caring presence of our volunteers. Thank you to the following Luther Manor volunteers
(including those who serve at River Oaks and Lakefield) who gave precious gifts of time
and talent in 2010, assisting in our ministry to God’s older children and their families.

The Luther Manor Heritage Partner Society was established in 1997 to recognize faithful donors who include
Luther Manor’s ministry in their charitable estate planning, ensuring that Luther Manor’s compassionate
care and service for God’s older adults will be available in the future. Examples of such charitable estate

• Remembering Luther Manor in your will.
• Obtaining a charitable gift annuity that names Luther Manor as the ultimate beneficiary.
• Making provisions for Luther Manor in a trust arrangement.
• Naming Luther Manor as your life insurance beneficiary.
• Naming Luther Manor as beneficiary of a retirement account.
We gratefully acknowledge and celebrate the following members of the Heritage Partner Society whose decision
to include Luther Manor (ULPA) and/or the Luther Manor Foundation in their charitable estate planning goes a
