Helping people achieve dignity and
wholeness in their lives starts at home
Having a place to call “home” is even more
heart-warming in a welcoming, respectful
community of good neighbors. Designed
for comfort, safety, self-sufficiency and
consideration for the physical and emotional
needs of the residents, Graceworks residential
communities add value to neighborhoods in 20
counties in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky.
Graceworks emerged as a leader and trusted
provider of group homes in the early 1980s
when the State of Ohio began
deinstitutionalizing persons
with mental retardation and
developmental disabilities.
First opening two homes in
Cincinnati in 1983, Graceworks
Enhanced Living provided
25 nationally accredited group
residences and a day program
in Butler, Greene, Hamilton and
Montgomery counties in 2007
for more than 160 individuals
with developmental disabilities.
Residents in each home develop
their full potential in safe and
supportive environments
founded on the principles
of gentle teaching, servant
leadership and building
community. In 2007 Graceworks
provided more than $343,000
in charity care through the
Enhanced Living program.
More than 700 elderly and
disabled individuals with
limited financial resources
call their apartment “home”
in any of 19 Graceworks
Housing Services apartment
communities located in quiet
residential neighborhoods.
The typical apartment building
has 40 clean and secure apartments that
are accessible for people with mobility
impairments. For nearly two decades,
Graceworks Housing Services, through a
partnership with the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD), has
provided comfortable, safe places to live for
individuals who are age 62 or older or disabled.
Graceworks provided more than $730,000 in
charity care in 2007 through Housing Services.
Bethany Village is expanding to serve the
growing population of seniors
Graceworks Lutheran Services is demonstrating its commitment to the Dayton region with
a $47 million construction project at Bethany Village, its senior living community in Centerville.
A nationally accredited Continuing Care Retirement Community, Bethany Village provides
residences for active seniors, assisted living and a range of healthcare services to meet changing
needs, including short-term rehabilitation, memory supportive care and skilled nursing care.
The expansion is one of the largest building
projects underway in the south Dayton
metropolitan area and includes 60 new
residences, a Village Center and a Memory
Support Center. The first step was a massive
exterior renovation of the 11-story Vista Place
apartment residence, the tallest building in the
community. But the project is about more than
new buildings. It is about enriching the lives of
the community’s growing population of seniors.
The Village Center will open in December
2008 and create a new “front door” to the
community. The new central gathering place
illustrates Bethany’s focus on wholeness of life
and includes a Fitness Center, a relaxing Bistro,
a Grand Room for large gatherings, a classroom
for educational programs and an Art Center for
creating and exhibiting art.
The new Memory Support Center will provide a
home-like environment for people experiencing
dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. To be
completed in spring 2009, the Center will be
divided into four households. Each household
will feature 14 private resident rooms, a dining
area, kitchen and living room overlooking a
central courtyard where residents can experience
the outdoors.
When the expansion is completed, Bethany
will be home to approximately 800 older adults.
More than 575 elderly people experience skilled
nursing care and customized rehabilitation
programs each year in the Bethany Rehabilitation
Center as they recover from surgery or
hospitalization.
