'I just love working there and that's a good place to work'

'It feels good every day to know that what you do at your job, will help and make a difference in somebody’s life. Especially elderly people that feel lonely, sick and abandoned by friends and family. We are there for them. I love to work at Lutheran and I love my Participants. Because of the pandemic we can’t see each other everyday-but I call them; and I can feel their happiness when they hear my voice. They know I care.

Those are real statements from real employees at Lutheran Senior LIFE.

We hope you feel the same way once you experience what it is like to work here.....
