Brecon Village Senior Living Community

Our Legacy – over a century in the making

In 1879, long before we became EHM Senior Solutions, Pastor Wilhelm Hansen, Mr. George Welz, Mr. Ludwig Harks, and his wife, Mrs. Henriette Harks, established the Zoar Society to meet the needs of orphaned children and the elderly. The organization was first known as Zoar Homes.

The organization built its first home, Talitha Cumi, on Harvey Street in Detroit in 1882 to house orphaned children.
