How are the Lutheran Homes Supported and How Are the Homes funded?

Money generated from the services provided (i.e. Medicaid/Medicare, fees) supports the day to day operation of the organization. Lutheran Homes of Michigan counts on additional donations from donors and volunteers, such as yourself, to go over and above the basic cost of daily care. Contributions of time and money from congregation members allow for enhancement in the quality of care for all residents. LHM does not use voluntary contributions for daily operational costs.

What makes Lutheran Homes Different From Other Nursing Facilities?

Each Lutheran Home is built around a chapel which provides a worship center for residents, family and friends. Here the gospel message can be shared and the spiritual life of the residents and their families can be nurtured and strengthened. The aesthetics of each home provides a warm, caring environment for each resident. Christ-centered volunteer support by partnering congregations greatly enhances the quality of service and care at each home.
