The GreenFields Continuing Care Community
The Niagara Lutheran Health System began in 1956 as the Niagara Lutheran Home & Rehabilitation Center at 64 Hager Street on Buffalo’s East Side. In 1990, the organization began operating the Niagara Lutheran Delaware Home at 1040 Delaware Avenue, in addition to the Hager Street facility.
Development of The GreenFields campus started in the mid 1990’s, when Niagara Lutheran’s Board of Directors focused on developing a continuing care community where various levels of senior care would be provided on a single campus. January 1, 1996, marked the incorporation of the Niagara Lutheran Health System, with Jurgen Arndt as President/CEO. Later that year, the 52-acre Mang family farm on Broadway in Lancaster was purchased as the location for The GreenFields campus.
The first phase of the project was a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center, and on June 22, 1997, construction began. On October 2, 1998, 120 residents from the Niagara Lutheran Delaware Home were moved into their new home at GreenField Health & Rehabilitation Center. The residents had breakfast in the old Niagara Lutheran Delaware Home, and lunch in their new home at The GreenFields. The Niagara Lutheran Delaware Home was then closed.
Our 2018 Leadership Council campaign supported projects such as the expansion of GreenField Health & Rehabilitation Center with the addition of 24 private rooms.
