Katherine Luther Residential Health Care & Rehabilitation Center, Inc., operating as Lutheran Care, is a non-profit organization registered to receive federal awards since November 2011 and headquartered in Clinton, New York. The organization specializes in providing long-term care and rehabilitation services to veterans through contracts with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Lutheran Care serves as a prime contractor under the Veterans Health Administration, delivering community-based nursing home services that support the VA's broader strategy of maintaining continuity of care for veterans requiring specialized residential care in community settings.

Lutheran Care has consistently received delivery orders from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 (VISN 2) for the provision of community nursing home services to eligible veterans served by the Syracuse VA Medical Center. These delivery orders have been awarded quarterly, with individual contract values ranging from approximately $84,000 to $336,000, covering fiscal year expenditure reporting periods spanning from 2021 through 2025. The most recent delivery orders include a $336,704.48 award for fiscal years 2025 quarters 1 and 2 (October 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025) and a $183,371.40 award for fiscal years 2025 quarters 3 and 4 (April 1, 2025 through September 30, 2025). All delivery orders have utilized fixed-price contracts with economic price adjustment mechanisms and have been awarded without set-aside designations. The services are performed at Lutheran Care's facility in Clinton, New York, and involve the submission of quarterly expenditure reports documenting services rendered to veteran beneficiaries. Over the delivery order history documented, Lutheran Care has accumulated substantial contract value from VISN 2, demonstrating sustained performance in providing specialized care services to the veteran population in the New York and New Jersey regions.

Lutheran Care holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract (IDC #36C24222D0095) issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 with a potential ceiling value of $1,788,177.50 and a performance period extending through August 31, 2027. This indefinite delivery vehicle was awarded on September 1, 2022, and is designed to procure ongoing community nursing home placements for eligible veterans across specified counties in New York and New Jersey. The contract does not fall under any parent vehicle and operates independently as the VA's mechanism for maintaining continuity of care through community-based providers. Under this IDV, Lutheran Care serves as the prime contractor and has received multiple delivery orders issued on a quarterly basis, each requiring submission of expenditure reports documenting services provided to beneficiaries of the Syracuse VA Medical Center. The indefinite delivery structure allows the VA to manage procurement efficiently while ensuring Lutheran Care maintains adequate capacity to support veteran placements in the region. This arrangement reflects the VA's strategic approach to utilizing prequalified community nursing home providers on an open and continuous basis to meet the long-term care needs of veterans in specified geographic areas.
