Lutheran Home Health Agency

The Lutheran 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.

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.
