More than 210,000 Michigan veterans reside in metro Detroit (Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties). So, with the specific goal of serving those who have served us, we have built a brand-new Home in Chesterfield Township. The newly-constructed Home consists of four unique neighborhood buildings, each measuring 29,000+ square feet, that connect to a 33,000 square-foot community center. The neighborhood buildings each house 32 private member rooms with ensuite baths for a total of 128 private rooms. All buildings are connected via heated and air-conditioned corridors, allowing members to move through the neighborhood buildings and community center while staying indoors. In addition to specialized care and for the convenience of members, an in-house pharmacy, pastoral care and specialty clinics (such as dental and vision care) are also available.

The Michigan Veteran Homes at Grand Rapids is located on 90 beautifully wooded and landscaped acres, right near the mighty Grand River. While the campus first opened in 1885 and has received many upgrades and new facilities over the years, we have built a brand-new Home on-site. The newly-constructed Home consists of four unique neighborhood buildings, each measuring 29,000+ square feet, that connect to a 33,000 square-foot community center. The neighborhood buildings each house 32 private member rooms with ensuite baths for a total of 128 private rooms. All buildings are connected via heated and air-conditioned corridors, allowing members to move through the neighborhood buildings and community center while staying indoors. In addition to specialized care and for the convenience of members, an in-house pharmacy, pastoral care and specialty clinics (such as dental and vision care) are also available. A cemetery is available for those veterans and dependents who have passed away while under the care of the Home.

Michigan Veteran Homes is the entity that provides day-to-day operational oversight of the state’s veteran homes on behalf of the Michigan Veterans Facility Authority. Our mission is to provide long-term skilled nursing care and services that enhance the well-being of veterans and eligible family members that live within the Homes.
