Home Health Agency
The Lutheran Living Communities-Vinton Home Health Agency’s overall goal is to help clients regain or retain their ability to live safely in their own home. We provide services ranging from housekeeping to Skilled (Medicare) services.
The Lutheran Living Communities-Vinton Home Health Agency is Medicare certified. In addition, Medicaid and Waiver programs are also accepted. We additionally serve clients with approved insurance plans, VA benefits and private pay. Services will be provided to patients who live within 35 miles of Vinton, including all of Benton County.
What Does Skilled (Medicare) Services Mean?
It allows our Home Health Agency to provide nursing, physical, occupational & speech therapies along with bathing assistance. These services are billed to Medicare or Medicaid. It should be noted, Medicare Part A covers 100% of Home Health services for qualifying participants.
