I would like to provide some valuable feedback regarding Lutheran Life Villages in Kendallville, Indiana. The process of placing a parent in a nursing home can be challenging. My mother had previously been hospitalized for RSV and required leg therapy. As a result, she was transferred to Lutheran Life Villages for rehabilitation to improve her lung capacity and mobility. Although we eventually had to place my mother in Lutheran Life Villages permanently, I am extremely satisfied with their clean facility over the past 3 years. They offer a range of activities to keep my mother occupied, including playing Bingo, which is one of her favorites. Living 10 hours away, I appreciate the love, care, and support my mother and I receive. Big Shout Out to the All Stars 🌟

Our father admitted to LLV Kendallville for end of life care. Although his time there was short, the care he received while he was there exceeded our expectations. The staff was so caring, compassionate, and supportive - not only to our father but to our family as well. We could not have asked for a better experience.
