Discover Compassionate, Community-Focused Long-Term Care

When families begin searching for nursing homes in Fort Wayne, they’re often navigating difficult decisions about care, safety, and quality of life. At Lutheran Life Villages (LLV), we believe there’s a better way to think about this next chapter. Rather than a traditional “nursing home,” we offer long-term care communities — vibrant, mission-driven environments that provide expert support while fostering dignity, connection, and compassion.

Our communities in Fort Wayne and Kendallville offer skilled nursing care, therapy services, and personal support tailored to each resident’s needs, all within a warm, faith-based atmosphere that feels like home.

What Are Nursing Homes?

Nursing homes are residential care settings that provide around-the-clock nursing supervision, daily living assistance, and ongoing health management for individuals who need more support than can be safely provided at home or in assisted living. You may also hear these communities referred to as skilled nursing facilities or long-term care center.

Lutheran Life Villages delivers this essential level of care within thoughtfully designed communities where residents are supported medically, socially, and spiritually every day.

Who Typically Needs Long-Term Care?

Long-term care is often necessary for adults with advanced age, mobility limitations, cognitive decline, or those recovering from serious illness or surgery. It’s a common next step when caregiving at home becomes too challenging.

Our care team supports families through this transition by offering education, reassurance, and custom-tailored care plans. For many, finding the right nursing home in Fort Wayne or greater northeast Indiana is the first step toward peace of mind.

Yes, Medicaid pays for long-term care in certified nursing homes that Fort Wayne families rely on, provided the individual meets medical and financial requirements. All of LLV’s communities are Medicaid-certified, and our care advisors help guide families through every step of the process.

Medicare covers short-term skilled nursing care (up to 100 days) following a qualifying hospital stay but does not pay for ongoing long-term residential care. Lutheran Life Villages accepts Medicare for eligible rehabilitation services and will help families understand their benefits and limitations.

The typical cost associated with nursing homes in Fort Wayne varies based on the level of care, room type, and services needed. In Indiana, monthly costs typically range from $10,000 to $15,000. Lutheran Life Villages provides clear pricing and will work with families to explore payment options including private pay, long-term care insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid.
