LutherCare Communities

More than 100 people gathered for the 22nd Annual Power Breakfast. A morning of delicious food, meaningful conversation, and support for an important cause.

Our CEO and Board Chair set the tone for the morning, sharing the vision and heart behind our work. And then Lisa, a team member from our Luther Special Care Home, brought it all to life by dressing in a bathrobe and shower cap to put a face on this year's fundraising focus. Together, we raised $15,186. This, combined with the generosity of the family of former resident Carl Rausch, will help the Foundation to support the renovation of a therapeutic tub/shower space for residents at Luther Special Care Home, an investment in comfort, dignity, and quality of care.

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported this year’s Power Breakfast, and a special thank you to our community impact partner, Suer and Pollon Mechanical, as event sponsor, for helping to make this fantastic morning possible.

Yes, you can make a difference at LutherCare. Please make a donation on our website.

This week (April 19–25), we’re joining organizations across Canada to celebrate the people who make such a meaningful difference through service. This year’s theme, Ignite Volunteerism, shines a light on the power of people who give their time, skills, and hearts to strengthen communities.

Our volunteers make an impact every single day by offering companionship, supporting programs and events, sharing expertise, and helping create welcoming, vibrant spaces. We simply couldn’t do this work without our dedicated volunteers.
To all our volunteers: thank you for showing up, caring deeply, and helping build stronger communities. This week and always, we are grateful.

On Friday, CPO Laura Hunter, team member Rishi Joshi and board member Dennis Serfas had the privilege of accepting the Employer of Choice for Large Enterprise (Emerging Talent) award at the Saskatoon Open Door Society Annual Diversity Awards Gala on behalf of every single team member at LutherCare Communities.

At LutherCare, we believe that welcoming diversity makes us stronger. Newcomers’ talents, perspectives, and resilience directly improve the lives of the residents, clients, and families we serve every day. This award belongs to the leaders and team members across LutherCare who build a culture of belonging, growth, and purpose every day. It is truly a team effort.

Thank you, Saskatoon Open Door Society, for the work you do to help newcomers feel they belong in our community. This recognition means a great deal to us. We accept it with humility and a commitment to keep doing the work.

During Caregivers Week, we pause to recognize and thank the incredible caregivers who support people across LutherCare Communities every day.
Our caregivers make a difference in many ways and across many settings, including:

Independent Living – supporting independence, choice, and aging with dignity
Intermediate Care Homes – providing supportive, person‑centred care
Special Care Homes – providing compassionate, 24‑hour care
Group Homes – fostering belonging, routine, and meaningful relationships
Home Help Services – helping individuals remain safely at home
Seniors Centre programs – promoting wellness, connection, and active living
Guided by our values of compassion, respect, and belonging, LutherCare caregivers build trusting relationships and create environments where people feel supported, valued, and at home.

To all LutherCare caregivers — thank you for the work you do, the connections you build, and the care you provide every day.
