Lutheran Services Carolinas (LSC) is now the 37th largest nonprofit senior service provider in the United States, up from 40th last year. It maintained its status as the largest nonprofit senior service provider in North Carolina, according to the LeadingAge Ziegler 200 list, which ranks the largest multi-site providers of nonprofit aging services in the nation.
LSC is ranked 18th nationwide for number of nursing care beds, up from 20th last year, and it ranks 77th for number of independent living units, up from 78th last year. Additional independent living units will debut this fall with the opening of Trinity Village independent living in Hickory.
The organization’s rank for number of assisted living units declined slightly to No. 56 from No. 55, in line with national trends.
“Growth only matters to us as a measure of how many more people we can serve,” said LSC President and Chief Executive Officer Ted W. Goins Jr. “It’s nice for LSC to be recognized, but the mission is what’s important.”
LSC owns and operates 11 senior living communities in North Carolina including Trinity Place (Albemarle), Aston Park (Asheville), GlenFlora (Lumberton), Trinity Elms (Clemmons), Trinity Glen (Winston-Salem), Trinity Grove and Trinity Landing (Wilmington), Trinity Oaks (Salisbury), Trinity Ridge and Trinity Village (Hickory), and Trinity View (Arden). LSC also provides adult day services, home care services, and affordable senior housing in North Carolina, and it is a partner in four PACE programs (Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly).
The LeadingAge Ziegler report does not include approximately $50 million in annual revenue from LSC’s child and family ministry. LSC provides foster care, adoption, mental health services, refugee resettlement services, disaster response, and residential care for people with disabilities in both North Carolina and South Carolina, and recovery services in South Carolina.
