Lutheran Village at Miller’s Grant recently held a groundbreaking for its Phase Two Expansion project, which includes a new Performing Arts Center/Chapel, new independent living apartment building and expanding its Health Care Center and assisted living to include a new memory care support neighborhood. The project will permit the community to serve more of Howard County, MD’s growing older adult population.
The Performing Arts Center/Chapel, a multifunctional 17,000+ square foot space, will serve as a hub for residents and team members to gather, worship and celebrate. Designed as a multipurpose gathering space, the Performing Arts Center/Chapel will easily adapt to formal and casual events including community celebrations, performing arts concerts and movie showings, from a 34-seat tiered movie theater, as well as worship services.
LVMG’s expansion project also includes constructing a new apartment building for independent living, which will include 43 apartments and a gastro pub with indoor/outdoor dining for residents to enjoy chef-prepared meals in a casual social setting. The community is expanding its assisted living neighborhood, including adding a new memory care support neighborhood, and Health Care Center to include 16 additional beds.
“The project allows us to enhance our amenities and services for existing residents and grow to meet the needs of older adults in Howard County,” said Jeff Branch, president and CEO of Lutheran Social Ministries of Maryland, the managing organization of LVMG.
Branch; Michelle Rosenheim, LVMG’s Executive Director; LSMMD and LVMG’s board chairs; LVMG’s resident council president; and team members from Harkins Builders participated in the ceremonial groundbreaking.
