Admissions & Eligibility | Cost of Care | Veterans Home at King | Veterans Home at Union Grove

Veterans living in State Veterans Homes may be eligible for federal benefits which can help supplement their cost of care. The cost of staying at a Veterans Home is often significantly below what is charged at for-profit facilities. Assistance is available during the application process to find the best options for financing your living arrangements and cost of care.

• Federal veterans entitlements help make this affordable for many veterans.
