State Veterans Homes

What is a State Veterans Home?

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 post-Civil War era when many states created them to provide shelter to disabled and homeless Veterans.

To participate in the State Veterans Home program, VA must formally recognize and certify a facility as a State Veterans Home. The VA then surveys all facilities each year to make sure they continue to meet VA standards. VA does not manage State Veterans Homes.
