Details
Eligibility
Veterans enrolled in the VA health system who need nursing home care. Admission is described broadly by WV — there is no WV-specific 70% rating cutoff. Note: a 70%+ service-connected rating (or total disability based on individual unemployability) is the FEDERAL VA payment tier under which the VA covers full per diem cost at state nursing homes; lower-rated veterans may still be eligible for admission but typically share in the cost.
Covers
120-bed full-time skilled nursing facility (opened 2008) including private/semi-private rooms, a specialized 20-bed Alzheimer's/dementia unit, pharmacy services, and breezeway-connected access to the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center. Cost is significantly less than the national average for nursing facility care.
How to apply
Contact the facility directly or through the WV Department of Veterans Assistance.
