Lutheran Homes Society
131 N. Wheeling St.Â
(419) 724-1414
The four Lutheran Homes Society (LHS) care campuses (Lutheran Home, Toledo; Lutheran Village at Wolf Creek, Lutheran Home, Napoleon, and Lutheran Memorial Home, Sandusky) offer respite care for loved ones when caregivers need a break. Inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services for patients recovering from surgery, a fall, or other physical ailment are also available. Our home health agency, Northwest Ohio Home Care Partners, can help caregivers by providing skilled nursing care and therapy services to loved ones in the comfort of their own homes.
When caring for a loved one becomes impractical, Lutheran Homes Society care campuses offer assisted living apartments. Assisted living is a level of care that provides help with the activities of daily living (e.g.: bathing, dressing, eating and medications management). If a loved one wants to remain at home, our home health agency can provide nursing and therapy services to alleviate clinical concerns.
LHS care campuses periodically provide educational programs on such topics as Medicare, Alzheimer’s and dementia, Parkinson’s disease, long-term care planning, and hospice care. Besides skilled nursing care and therapy services, our home health also can provide motivation, encouragement and health education. We provide free home assessments for patients discharging from our facilities, which can help caregivers better prepare for a loved one’s safe return home.
Caregivers need to remember to give themselves time to recharge. Taking care of a loved one is a responsibility that can become overwhelming at times. Arranging for in-home care or a respite care stay, whether lasting a few days or a couple of weeks, can provide a much needed break for caregivers and peace of mind as loved ones receive care by nurturing professionals.
