National Lutheran Communities & Services

National Lutheran Communities & Services (NLCS) has been blessed with a long tradition of service to people of all faiths. Since 1890, we’ve helped people find wonderful choices for retirement living, new options for financial security and expert services for health care and wellness. While staying rooted in our heritage, we have continued to plan for the needs of future generations we will serve.

NLCS is a faith-based, not-for-profit ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America’s (ELCA) Delaware-Maryland, Metropolitan Washington, D.C. and Virginia Synods serving people of all beliefs. NLCS provides seniors with a variety of lifestyle, residential and health care options through retirement communities in Maryland and Virginia.
