In addition, Luther Crest has recently completed extensive interior renovations, has sold out our new community of homes—Southgate at Luther Crest—is beginning to develop new luxury apartments to be known as Bridgegate at Luther Crest, and is constructing a new Wellness Center complete with indoor heated pool and expanded fitness center. Future plans include renovation of the community’s assisted living and nursing/rehabilitation centers, as well as the addition of assisted living services for those with Alzheimer's disease and similar illnesses.
Beyond this extensive growth, the Luther Crest lifestyle is built on gracious service, hospitality, and amenities. We offer elegant dining—including hostess seating and a large menu selection—in our Canterbury Room and casual dining in our Bistro, housekeeping and laundry services, health and rehabilitation services, Internet-equipped library, woodworking shop, and much more.
