VA inspects and approves all Medical Foster Homes. A Medical Foster Home can serve as an alternative to a nursing home. It may be appropriate for Veterans who require nursing home care but prefer a non-institutional setting with fewer residents. Medical Foster Homes have a trained caregiver on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This caregiver can help the Veteran carry out activities of daily living, such as bathing and getting dressed. VA ensures that the caregiver is well trained to provide VA planned care. While living in a Medical Foster Home, Veterans receive Home Based Primary Care services. United States Department of Veteran Affairs Offers grants for veterans with severe, service-connected disabilities who require enhanced accessibility. Funds may be used to build or remodel the home for accessibility. Visit the website, send an email ([email protected]), or call the program office for more information.
