What Lisner-Louise-Dickson-Hurt Home does

Lisner-Louise-Dickson-Hurt Home (LLDH Home) is a Washington, DC-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit senior care organization operating a 105-bed combined skilled nursing facility and assisted living residence at 5425 Western Avenue NW in the Friendship Heights neighborhood. Founded in 1941 as the Abraham and Laura Lisner Home for Aged Women and expanded through successive mergers with the Louise Home (1976), John Dickson Home (1985), and Hurt Home (1993), the organization delivers person-centered health, housing, and rehabilitation services to low and modest income DC seniors under CMS 5-star quality standards. Its core programs include a Housing Program offering affordable private accommodations, a Health Care Program with tailored medical and psychosocial support, a Rehabilitation Program providing physical, occupational, and speech therapy (including Medicare Part A short-term rehab), a Family Support Program, a Volunteer Program, and a Resident Art Program established in 2007. The Home holds DC assisted living residence and skilled nursing facility licenses, Medicare and Medicaid certification, AHCA/NCAL Silver Achievement in Quality recognition, and SAGECare certification for LGBTQ+ elder care.

Revenue is generated through a recurring, ability-to-pay resident fee structure underpinned by Medicaid HCBS/EPD Waiver Assisted Living benefits and Medicare Part A coverage, supplemented by tax-deductible donations and capital campaign contributions. The Home's go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer through scheduled admissions tours and an Admissions Coordinator, layered with community-led outreach via word-of-mouth referrals, an annual Garden Party, and earned media coverage. Donors and partners include Allied Pharmaceutical Services, Hamilton Insurance Agency, Amazon Housing Equity Fund, S. Kann Sons Co. Foundation, Bradley, United Way of the National Capital Area, and Wiencek and Associates, supporting ongoing capital initiatives.

The organization is currently executing a major capacity expansion. Following a July 2020 flood that damaged its historic 1940s assisted living building, LLDH Home launched the Securing Tomorrow Capital Campaign, which raised $21.5 million (exceeding its $20M goal) by 2024 to restore and modernize 45 handicapped-accessible assisted living units. In parallel, the Home partnered with Urban Atlantic and secured a $26.6 million DC Housing Production Trust Fund construction loan to develop The Louise on Western, a 93-unit 100% affordable independent senior housing community for residents aged 62+ earning 30-50% of Area Median Income, with anticipated completion in summer 2025. The 2024 Vision Award from the Federal City Council's Committee of 100 recognized this public-private collaboration.
