Medical Care
Veteran Village is committed to providing Veterans with a continuation of their active and enriching lives after active military service. A nurse works with the resident, family, and multidisciplinary/care plan team to develop and individual plan of care. A plan of care covers medical care and services, daily living activities, and educating the residents to maintain or increase independence to improve their well-being. Care is provided 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to all residents
