Nursing Homes and The Lutheran Home for the Aging

Nursing Homes and The Lutheran Home for the Aging

     Recently,  I had the pleasure of having a personal tour of the Lutheran
Home for the Aging located in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.  I chose this area of study
because it happened to be convenient in location for me as well as easily
