Willamette Lutheran Homes is a Christian community offering active living and care to people of all faiths. A local, non-profit serving those 55 and better in the Salem/Keizer area since 1962.  As a non-profit community, our surplus is put back into our campus to enhance the lives of those who live in our community. We require no buy-in, just a month-to-month rental.

The inspiration for Willamette Lutheran Homes began with a group of Christians concerned with providing both physical and spiritual care for retired individuals. This founding group based it’s idea on the following goals:

  • To provide retirement services to individuals age 62 or older in a central location.
  • To provide spiritual care by including a chapel on the premises.

Willamette Lutheran Homes was incorporated in the late 1950s as a non-profit organization. The facility’s cornerstone was laid in 1962, and the first residents moved in later that year.

Willamette Lutheran Homes stresses COMMUNITY, because it is the philosophy of our volunteer Board of Directors that each person is an integral part of a community.
