History
Coburg Village has a rich combination of the old and new. While our community opened in September 1999, our roots give us a rich 125-year history of service to seniors of all faiths. As a faith-based organization with a long history, Coburg Village addresses the physical, spiritual, and emotional dimensions of the entire community, with respect, compassion, and goodwill. Our parent organization, The Lutheran Care Network, was founded as Wartburg Lutheran Services. In late 2010, the board of directors voted to change the organization’s name to TLCN.
The secure and welcoming environment of Coburg Village has always revolved around our residents’ physical, emotional and spiritual needs, and encourages an active and independent lifestyle. In support of that independence, a wide variety of services are available to all residents, from a staff of caring people who bring a wealth of expertise to their fields of service.
The Coburg Village Name
Coburg Village draws its name from the town of Coburg in Saxony, Germany, an important region in Lutheran history, especially in the life of Martin Luther.
The Coburg Fortress, which was built in the 12th Century overlooking the town, gave refuge to Luther when he was quarreling with the Church. He stayed there from April to October 1530.
