Long Term Care Recognizing the importance of long-term care for the nation's veterans, Senator Rockefeller authored successful legislation that required the Department of Veterans Affairs, for the first time, to provide a wide-range of extended care services -- such as home health care, adult day care, respite care, and hospice care -- to veterans who use the VA health care system. The bill directs the VA to provide nursing home care for veterans whose disabilities are most severe, those requiring nursing home care specifically for their service-connected disabilities, and those with service-connected disabilities rated at 70 percent or greater. As a result, thousands of veterans have now been given the opportunity to live out their older years in a safe environment with quality health care. |
