Alabama State Veterans Home Program
The people of the United States have always
held a tradition, mandated by law, that those who serve the country in the armed
services, especially in time of war, shall receive consideration and care when
they are in need.
The
hospitals maintained by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs have filled the
needs of acutely ill or injured veterans. But a different type of facility is needed for
aging or chronically disabled veterans.
The State of Alabama is extending this
special kind of care to veterans through a partnership with the federal
government and private industry. The Bill Nichols State Veterans Home in
Alexander City has been "home" to hundreds of veterans since its
opening in 1989. In January 1995, Alabama opened two more homes to veterans, the
Floyd E. "Tut" Fann State Veterans Home in Huntsville, the
William
F. Green State Veterans Home in Bay Minette. In the summer of 2012, the Colonel Robert L.
Howard State Veterans Home will open in Pell City.
The Alabama State Veterans Homes are a very
affordable solution for you or your loved ones. For information on how to
