70% of State Veteran Home residents served in WWII; 15% in the Korean War and 15% in the Vietnam War.  Iraq casualties are soon to arrive.

What have you accomplished?

The Veterans Homes Foundation enhances the quality of life for State Veterans Home residents through a national nurse training program and a crime prevention/community safety program.  We are also the partner of the National Association of State Veterans Homes in providing education and professional development to Home administrators. 

In addition, our grants for quality-of-life needs range from contributions to Indigent Veteran Funds to the purchase of ice cream

machines and Alzheimer’s therapy equipment.
