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?
This program allows our Home Health Agency to provide skilled nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and bathing assistance in the home. These services are billed through Medicare or Medicaid when eligibility requirements are met. For qualifying participants, Medicare Part A covers 100% of eligible Home Health services.

If the client is enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid, a physician may prescribe Home Health care services if the client meets all guidelines.
