The Vinton Lutheran Home is proud to present its Memory Care addition and facility renovations. “Oh my gosh… this place looks amazing! If I hadn’t come in the front door to know that I was at the Lutheran Home, I would not have recognized the place!” was a recent comment made upon entering the Lutheran Home. After more than 35 years in its present building, the Vinton Lutheran Home has a new look –inside and out!

Vinton’s longest-serving nursing home has finished work on an extensive renovation and building addition that began a little more than a year ago. Our Memory Care addition features eight private rooms and a large dining and activity area. Care Center renovations include new flooring and window treatments throughout, complete kitchen renovation and new furnishings all through the facility. A beautiful new entrance and reception area, larger therapy room and more private rooms were also part of our project. Residents and employees are excited about the completion of the project and are proud to show it off!

The Vinton Lutheran Home began in 1952 by lay people who wanted a place for aging loved ones who needed both physical and spiritual care. Over the years, the continuum of care has expanded to include a 61 bed Medicare Certified Nursing Facility (including a 19 bed Memory Care addition), a Medicare/Medicaid Certified Home Health Agency, 18 Assisted Living Apartments and 16 Independent Living Town Homes.

On September 9, 2012, the Vinton Lutheran Home will be celebrating its 60th Anniversary of Providing Quality Christian Care and Service to the residents of Vinton and the surrounding communities. Please join us in this celebration. Watch for further information.
