Lutheran Towers

Overview of Lutheran Towers

About 0.8 miles from the city’s downtown, Lutheran Towers is an independent living community in the Trolley Square neighborhood of Wilmington, Delaware. Occupants live in their own private apartments, with front desk staff’s daily support and access to shared amenities and social programming, instead of in a setting built around personal or medical care.

The community complements daily living with a set of practical services: on-site transportation, housekeeping, and wheelchair-accessible spaces, along with a 24-hour staffed front desk for added peace of mind. A regular calendar of scheduled social activities gives residents easy ways to connect with neighbors. Small dogs and cats are welcome, so residents sharing their home with a pet can bring with them that companionship. The neighborhood itself scores 82 for walkability, so most errands and everyday essentials are easily walkable. For occupants and visiting families, it’s then simple to get around Trolley Square on foot, whether for a coffee run, a doctor’s visit, or strolling in the area.
