Lutheran Life Villages is an 84-bed nursing home on Coldwater Road in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Owned by Alexander Kiefer and run by Adams County Memorial Hospital under administrator Matthew Souder, the building maintains a high occupancy rate of 98 percent. It accommodates Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay options. The average length of stay for residents is 186 days, covering both short-term rehabilitation patients and long-term clinical placements.
The everyday care model delivers an average of 4 hours and 13 minutes of direct nursing time per resident each day, utilizing a clinical team of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides. This care presence supports the facility’s post-hospital recovery and general rehabilitation services. The suburban location makes the surrounding neighborhood car-dependent, meaning visitors will need personal transportation to manage errands or travel to the campus. State inspections have noted specific compliance areas concerning care protocols and resident protection guidelines.
Prospective residents can contact the administrative department directly to verify current waitlist timelines, ask about specific clinical programs, or request an informational packet.
Lutheran Life Villages is legally operated by Adams County Memorial Hospital, and administrated by Matthew Souder.
