Compassionate Care at Lutheran Life Villages
When a loved one begins to experience memory loss from Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other cognitive challenges, families need support they can trust. Lutheran Life Villages (LLV) provides compassionate memory care that Fort Wayne families rely on, with communities that offer safe, caring environments designed to help residents live with dignity and comfort.
What Is Memory Care?
Memory care is specialized support for people who have difficulty with memory and thinking, such as those living with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or related conditions. This type of care provides structured support to help residents maintain independence while managing the symptoms of memory loss.
Memory care communities are designed with safety and comfort in mind. They offer secure environments, trained staff, and routines that reduce confusion and anxiety. Activities and therapies focus on stimulating cognitive function and encouraging meaningful social interaction and faith-based support. For many families seeking Fort Wayne memory care, these communities provide peace of mind knowing their loved ones are supported by professionals trained in dementia care.
What Is Memory Care Assisted Living?
Memory care assisted living is a unique combination of services that blends the independence of assisted living with specialized dementia support. Residents receive personalized help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and medication management, along with access to memory-focused programming in a secure environment.
Lutheran Life Villages is proud to be one of the only providers offering this integrated approach to assisted living and memory care in Fort Wayne. This model helps residents maintain dignity and independence while receiving the right level of care as their cognitive needs change.
Is Memory Care Considered Skilled Nursing?
Memory care is not the same as skilled nursing care, though the two services can overlap depending on individual needs. Skilled nursing provides intensive medical care, often delivered by registered nurses, for residents who require ongoing health monitoring or rehabilitation. Memory support focuses on managing memory loss symptoms in a safe, supportive environment. At LLV, our nursing and cognitive care teams work closely to meet residents’ full needs.
Memory care in Fort Wayne typically costs between $6,500 and $8,000 per month. Factors such as private rooms, therapy programs, and specialized staffing may affect pricing.
Lutheran Life Villages is committed to transparency and helping families understand all available options. Our care advisors work with families to review financial considerations, including insurance, Medicaid, and other assistance programs to plan for sustainable care.
No, Medicare generally does not cover long-term memory care or assisted living, although it may cover short-term skilled nursing after a hospital stay. LLV helps families navigate benefits and explains what is covered so they can plan accordingly.
Yes, Medicaid can help cover the cost of memory care as long as the individual meets specific medical and financial requirements.
Lutheran Life Villages accepts Medicaid at several of its Fort Wayne memory care communities, and our care advisors are available to guide families through the application process. From eligibility questions to paperwork, LLV provides support at every step to ensure families can access the care their loved ones need.
