Lutheran Life Villages provides nursing home, skilled nursing, assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Kendallville, Indiana. Nursing home and skilled nursing care include licensed nursing support around the clock, while assisted living helps with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication in a private apartment. Independent living offers private living for residents who do not need daily care, and memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.
The range of care levels may be a good fit for a resident whose needs may grow over time, because care can change without moving to another community. The community has 99 beds. Total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 10 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nurse staffing time allocated to each resident.
Respite care provides a short stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, while short term rehabilitation supports recovery after an illness or procedure. Rehabilitation services are available within the community, so residents receiving them do not need arrangements at a separate location. Meals are made fresh and cooked from scratch, with a licensed dietician supervising accommodations for unique dietary needs.
Residents can use the secure courtyard for outdoor time, while chapel services and pastoral care provide religious support. Daily Life Enrichment, Activity Program, and Foster Grandparents are also available. Payment options include Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, with Medicare relevant to eligible short term skilled care after a hospital stay and Medicaid relevant when savings may not cover a longer stay. A Walk Score of 71 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may still reach nearby shops, a pharmacy, or cafes independently. Sadie Fenstermaker serves as administrator, and Adams County Memorial Hospital operates the community.
