Welcome to Artman Lutheran Home!

A faith-based organization with a rich tradition of providing compassionate care, Artman offers Assisted Living, Short-term Rehabilitation, Skilled Nursing and Hospice care.
Artman assists individuals to age gracefully through love, compassion and services that enhance independence. As our residents’ needs change, they remain here -- at home -- in familiar surroundings and cared for by dedicated professionals. Our staffing ratios exceed those mandated by the State, providing additional peace of mind for residents and their family members.
There is no need to look beyond Artman. We offer compassionate care close to home in a gracious setting. Whether celebrating a resident’s birthday or counseling a family in hospice, the Artman team cares.

As rehabilitation progresses, most insurance carriers will re-certify therapy stays in five-day increments.
Therapy is available at least five days a week; assessments, evaluations and consults are available seven days a week. Standard insurance policies typically cover one hour of therapy per day. Please check with your individual provider to determine your coverage for acute-care settings like hospitals and long-term care settings such as Artman.
