At Light of Hearts Villa in Bedford, Ohio, our mission is to provide compassionate, faith-based care to seniors, ensuring they live with dignity and grace. A significant aspect of fulfilling this mission involves navigating the complexities of Medicaid, a program that serves as a lifeline for many of our residents.
