VA Community Living Centers (CLCs / VA Nursing Homes)
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
A Community Living Center (CLC) is a VA Nursing Home where veterans can receive nursing-home-level care, including help with activities of daily living and skilled nursing and medical care. There are over 100 CLCs across the country, most on or close to a VA medical center campus. CLCs are designed to resemble 'home' as much as possible, activities for veterans of all ages, family-friendly visiting areas, room decoration, and pet visits/residency are allowed. Veterans may stay short-term (most common, often after hospital discharge) or, in rare cases, for the rest of their life.
