National Lutheran Communities & Services (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.
What once started as a small cottage for seniors in Washington, D.C. is now a family of retirement communities and services. Since its founding in 1890, the organization has continued to expand in order to meet the needs of seniors in its region.
