Following a medical examination and comprehensive evaluation, the physician and professional staff of the Home are responsible for determining the level of care a member will require.
The Home offers physician coverage as well as the following services: Pharmacy, Respiratory Therapy, Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation (in-patient), Psychiatric Aftercare, Social Work, Routine Dental Examination, Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Laboratory Services, Recreation Therapy, EKG, and Speciality Clinics.
Additional services are available on a fee-for-service basis: Podiatry, Dental Services, and Vision Services.
The amount of the monthly payment is based on income, expenses, and assets. The Veteran's Home is not a Medicaid facility so Medicaid will not pay for room and board expenses. Staff will assist members in applying for pensions, Social Security, VA, and long term care insurance payments.
