Description

This program supports states and Indian tribes in providing domiciliary care—residential, medical, and supportive services—to eligible veterans in State Veterans' Homes that meet the standards set by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Domiciliary care includes housing, food, basic comforts, and necessary medical services for veterans, particularly those disabled by age or illness. The goal is to help these veterans achieve and maintain physical, mental, and social well-being through a homelike, rehabilitative environment. The program operates through per diem reimbursements and is part of the broader State Veterans Home Program, which also covers nursing and adult day health care.
