The Veteran’s Administration (the VA) makes long-term care support available for qualifying veterans in several ways.
CLCs are VA owned and operated. Veterans can receive nursing level care, including assistance with activities of daily living. Veterans are encouraged to make their rooms feel home-like by decorating their rooms and they can participate in activities. These facilities are pet friendly, meaning pets can visit or live with the veteran.
Veterans can live full-time in Community Nursing Homes and receive skilled nursing care. Eligibility for a Community Nursing Home
is based on clinical need and setting availability Services include:
Homes are facilities that provide eligible Veterans with nursing home, domiciliary, or adult day care. These facilities are owned and operated by state governments. Each state establishes eligibility and admission criteria for its homes, and some State Veterans Homes may admit non-Veteran spouses and gold star parents.

Other VA long-term care benefits are described on va.org. They include home and community based services, resives provided in residential settings, and options outside the VA.
