The Veterans Home of California-Fresno is a 300-bed, long-term care facility located on 27 acres in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley.

Opened in October 2013, the VHC-Fresno has 300 beds and presently offers Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE), also known as assisted living. Early next year the Home will also offer Skilled Nursing. The two levels of care will provide continuity in the lives of residents in a homelike atmosphere of dignity and respect. All healthcare needs, meals, transportation and activities are provided by the Veterans Home of California-Fresno. Residents in the assisted living care area are required to need minimal assistance and supervision with most activities of daily living. Licensed nurses are available at the Home for necessary care. Skilled nursing care is provided to residents on a 24-hour basis by licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants. Skilled nursing residents have greater access to rehabilitation therapies, nursing care, pharmacy management, structured activities and clinical dietary services. A memory care program with this level of care provides a supervised environment for veterans with symptoms of confusion, memory loss, difficulty making decisions, solving problems or participating in conversations. The Veterans Home provides California veterans with a living environment that protects their dignity and contributes to their feeling of self-reliance and self-worth. The nearby City of Fresno offers many cultural and educational opportunities for Home residents to enjoy. Veterans considering assisted living are encouraged to apply. To qualify, you must be a resident of California, age 55 or older (or younger if disabled), and have served honorably. Spouses are also eligible to apply with the Veterans.

Veterans Day would not be complete without participation the annual Central Valley Veterans Day Parade. A handful of residents and volunteers from the Veterans Home of California, Fresno, loaded up one of our shuttle buses and headed out to line up for the parade. Our veterans enjoyed a ride through the parade while our volunteers walked the four mile parade route waving American flags and waving at the thousands of spectators. It was perfect weather for a parade and a perfect day to honor our veterans.

We recently welcomed the American Legion Riders Post 509 to the Veterans Home of California-Fresno. They rode in on their shiny motorcycles and brought boxes of items for our General Store. It was a beautiful day for a beautiful gesture.

Part 2 of our Fall Festival festivities at the Veterans Home of California- Fresno was a wonderful opportunity for children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of our staff and veterans to gather together and enjoy the day. There were games to play, crafts to create and yummy food to enjoy.

Once again the staff at the Veterans Home of California-Fresno pulled out all of the stops to celebrate Halloween. It started with a costume contest among the staff and residents. The Dietary Department turned into an aquarium with sea creatures. Then our Administration celebrated our country’s birthday by dressing up historical characters. Our Business Office was cowboys and robbers and finally Nursing Administration won the award as dominos dancing to music from the Dominos. We had several veterans also dress up. There was Spider-Man and even Jack the Pirate.
Stay tuned for part two of our Fall Festival festivities.

Native Americans have shaped our nation’s history through generations of extraordinary service, courage, and sacrifice. Serving in the U.S. Armed Forces at rates far above the national average, they have built a legacy of patriotism while preserving the rich cultures, traditions, and contributions that continue to strengthen our nation.

Please join us in celebrating Native American Heritage Month!

The Activities Team at the Veterans Home of California-Fresno gathered all of our ladies together for a Ladies Circle Picnic. They enjoyed delicious food and light refreshments. However, what they enjoyed the most was gathering together in this lovely setting. As an ice breaker, the team had cards that asked questions like “where did you meet your husband,” “what was the first adult trip you went on” and “where were you when the Berlin Wall came down?” These questions stirred so many memories and conversations among the group, it was very touching. One of our ladies was even in Germany when the Berlin Wall came down. She was stationed in West Germany at the time and witnessed the whole thing! Once again our amazing Activities Team did a wonderful job!
