Since we laid the cornerstone of Luther Manor in 1960, our unwavering mission has been to share God’s love by enriching the lives of older adults. Our journey began in the fall of 1956 when Rev. William B. Downey, pastor of Fox Point Lutheran Church, appointed a committee to study the needs of the area’s older adults and how to best meet them.

The committee recommended building a 65-person care center to serve the aging population of the greater Milwaukee area. From this, the nonprofit, faith-based United Lutheran Program for the Aging (ULPA) was born with the mission to advocate for the needs of older adults of all faiths.

After years of planning, the ULPA purchased an expansive park-like setting in Wauwatosa and began construction on a 97-bed residential retirement community. Today, Luther Manor has grown to a community of some 400 employees and 300 volunteers who help support the happiness and well-being of nearly 400 residents.
