Founded
in 1896, Diakon’s The Lutheran Home at Topton originated
as The Lutheran Orphans' Home, a ministry established to provide care
and accommodations for orphaned children. The home was built on a
hill overlooking the rolling countryside of northeastern Berks County,
Pa.
As changes in society reduced the number of orphans, the home began
reaching out to children in their own homes and to other segments
of the population. The Annie Lowry building on the Topton campus,
for example, was renovated into an infirmary for the elderly in the
early 1940's. Thus began a long history of service to older persons
as well as children.
Today, The Lutheran Home at Topton is a comprehensive retirement living
community whose services consist of a Continuing Care Retirement Community,
independent living retirement accommodations, rental-assistance housing,
assisted living residences, various levels of care for those with
Alzheimer’s disease and similar memory-related illnesses, and
skilled nursing and rehabilitative care.
