Tom Slivka is ready to start enjoying the retirement lifestyle he’s found at Wittenberg Village. As soon as his new Villa Home was completed, he was prepared to move. He had given himself a head-start on what can get overwhelming for some by thoroughly preparing for this move with Gero Solutions, senior move management experts from Lutheran Life Communities.

Mr. Slivka says, “I’m glad to be here and will be leading the band to welcome all my new neighbors as they arrive.” Many new neighbors are scheduled to arrive in the coming days, weeks and months. Wittenberg Village’s expansion project is adding 103 new Villa Homes and Greenview Terrace Suites to the senior living options available on its 47-acre, continuing care campus.
