State Veterans Homes (VA Recognition Program)
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
State Veterans Homes are facilities that provide nursing home, domiciliary, or adult day care. They are owned, operated, and managed by state governments. They date back to the years after the Civil War. To take part in the State Veterans Home program, the VA must formally recognize and certify a facility as a State Veterans Home. The VA then inspects all facilities each year to make sure they keep meeting VA standards. The VA does NOT manage State Veterans Homes. They are in all 50 states and Puerto Rico, and some states have more than one. The National Association of State Veterans Homes maintains a directory at https://nasvh.org/directory/.
