Benefit, Cost, and Payment Information

The Veteran Village is a facility unlike most others in South Carolina.  It has been built for the sole purpose of allowing eligible Veterans to receive a great benefit that they have earned for their service to the Nation.  Owned by the State of South Carolina, operated by VSI of South Carolina, and partially funded by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, this facility honors our Veterans’ service by providing the highest level of care in a highly desirable setting.   

• Veterans Home cost includes room and board, nursing care, dining and nutritional services, laundry services, barber shop, salon, housekeeping services, phone and cable, and basic personal items such as briefs and toiletries.

• The Veteran is responsible for daily co-pay, as determined annually.

• A High Service Connected or Priority 1 – 70% or greater Service Connected disabled Veteran may be entitled to the full cost of veterans home care.

• The Veteran is also responsible for the Veteran Village contract physician cost, therapy, labs and medications. Unless otherwise provided by the VA, the charges are billed to the Veterans’ insurance coverage, such as Medicare, Medicaid, supplemental coverage, Tricare and Medicare part D coverage for medications.

Please call the Veteran Village today to discuss rates, benefits, and eligibility!  There is absolutely no better option for a Veteran in need of skilled or intermediated skilled nursing care.
