Trinity Lutheran Home Now Trinity on Laurens
For the past decade Trinity Lutheran Home has been an Aiken name synonymous with faith-based, quality care for seniors. Since opening in 1997, over 650 older adults from all denominations have called the beautiful building on the corner of Laurens and Barnwell Streets their home. As Trinity Lutheran Home transitions into their second decade of service to the Aiken community, a new name, one that honors their church affiliation and recognizes their desirable downtown location has been selected. From this point forward, Trinity Lutheran Home will be known as Trinity on Laurens. Connie Henrich, Administrator notes that in selecting the new name, "it was important to maintain and honor Trinity's proud history while reflecting a more contemporary name that appeals to an active senior population. The new name also assures that Trinity welcomes people of all faiths and beliefs." Read more...
