About Us
The Ebenezer Difference
Serving seniors. It’s who we are and what we do. For more than 100 years, Ebenezer led the way in developing programs designed to support seniors in living their best lives. Over the years, these programs have become part of who we are and remain the cornerstones of our quality lifestyle promise. While There are many components to high quality programming and each deserving of more attention, those we share here are the Life Long Learning, Dimensions Program for Dementia Care, Crafted Culinary, Spiritual Care, Wellness and Intergenerational Programming.

Our Cornerstones
Our genuine devotion to the well-being and continued growth of each resident at TowerLight is underpinned by six cornerstones that are the foundation of our quality lifestyle promise.
Lifelong Learning
Art and education programs to engage the mind, body, and spirit
Crafted Culinary
Made-from-scratch meals with dietary options from 5-star chefs.
Faith Foundations
Join a meaningful community of faith. All traditions are welcome.
Person-Centered Care

Intergenerational Connections

Dimensions® Memory Care

Life Long Learning
Life Long Learning is the process of keeping your mind, body and spirit engaged — at any age — by actively pursuing knowledge and experience. Designed to help our residents learn and grow, Ebenezer’s Life Long Learning is a collection of coordinated arts and education programs that include:
- Creative engagement: opportunity to imagine and to grow
- Individual expression: sharing ideas in a safe and supportive environment
- Community: working together to learn and to create
- Legacy: sharing and passing on the work created

Faith Foundations
Ebenezer offers spiritual health programs at many of our communities. Our spiritual health services are designed to meet residents needs for connection, meaning, harmony and inner peace during this season of life. These programs support residents, family members, and staff in continuing spiritual growth and well-being. Spiritual health can have a positive effect on both health and longevity. Studies have shown that spiritual care can:
- Slow the progression of cognitive impairments with aging - including the effects of Alzheimer’s Disease
- Foster increased social participation
- Lower stress and increase coping capabilities
Spiritual health chaplains are available at all of our participating sites during businesses hours.
Crafted Culinary
At the heart of our resident programming is our signature culinary service. We realize that meal time is the highlight of many of our resident’s day and we do our best to ensure that we meet their highest expectations. Ebenezer residents enjoy restaurant-style cuisine with a variety of choices—including traditional favorites as well as seasonal specialties. Under the direction of our culinary director, talented chefs create delicious and nutritious meals crafted from fresh (and when possible) locally-sourced ingredients, and high-quality meats and seafood. For those residents with specific dietary needs, our team can offer specialized meals which ensure individualized nutrition needs are met. Additionally, Ebenezer employs a corporate pastry chef to train our chefs and make sure our desserts and treats are something special.
