The Jeppson Residential Care Program

Promising Support, Encouraging Independence.

The Jeppson Residential Care Center at the Lutheran Healthcare Center provides comfortable, supportive living for older adults who want to maintain a measure of independence while receiving the medical and other services they need.

Medicaid often helps to cover the cost of residing in the Jeppson Center. 

Services and Amenities:

• 16 private and semi-private carpeted rooms that are fully furnished.  Residents are encouraged to bring in personal possessions and furnishings within space limitations.
• Private half-bath for each room.
• Three meals daily in the main dining room.
• Laundry and housekeeping services.
• Certified professionals on the premises 24 hour a day.
• Medication supervision.
• 24-hour medical monitoring.
• Emergency safety features, including a call button.
• Cable and phone access.
• Walk-in tub with a whirlpool feature.

Services offered to Jeppson residents at LHC’s adjoining Skilled Nursing Facility:

• Physical, occupational, and speech therapies.
• Unisex hair salon.
• Worship services.
• Guest entertainment.
• Social service assistance.

Jeppson residents spend their free time in their own pursuits, playing board games together, completing puzzles, creating arts and crafts, parties, reading, and watching television in their rooms or in the community living rooms. Some residents choose to take advantage of the many volunteer opportunities at the LHC, contributing their gifts and talents to residents.

We have had several married couples at Lutheran Healthcare Center of Worcester, with one spouse in the Jeppson Unit and the other in the Skilled Nursing Facility. This enables emotional support for the couple and peace of mind for their families.

Jeppson residents receive preference for admission into LHC’s Skilled Nursing Facility, if such care should be required later on.
