Luther Ridge: Living Options for the Changing Needs of Older Adults

Welcome to Luther Ridge, the only community in Connecticut to offer 3 subsidized living options for seniors under the same roof. Our facility sits on a quiet wooded campus in the center of Connecticut, in Middlesex County.

At Luther Ridge, we meet the physical, social and spiritual needs of our residents with personal care and professional expertise; regardless of financial means.


Luther Ridge is a non-sectarian, non-profit community.  People of all ethnic and religious backgrounds are welcomed.

Information regarding COVID-19/Coronavirus

 
The health and well-being of Luther Ridge residents and employees is our first priority.
 
We are closely monitoring the situation and, in accordance with The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other health agencies, are continuously evaluating our policies and taking extra precautions to protect our residents and staff. If a confirmed case were to occur, we would continue to act in full compliance with the CDC, local and state health authorities. We monitor new developments and evaluate our precautions daily. Currently we have implemented the following protocols below:
 
 Luther Ridge COVID-19 Protocol

2. Anyone entering Luther Ridge will be screened at the front desk. Screening currently entails answering a series of questions regarding symptoms, travel, and exposure to the virus.
