This week’s focuses on one of Wisconsin’s important veteran benefits, our three state Veterans Homes. WDVA believes that caring for veterans and their families is an honor, and we work hard to provide an enjoyable place to live with top-notch 24-hour skilled nursing care. Comprised of hundreds of devoted employees and volunteers, the WDVA’s Veterans Homes at Chippewa Falls, King, and Union Grove have provided our nation’s heroes a place to call home for many years.

Currently, we’re on an upswing at the homes bouncing back from the tough days of Covid. We’ve had incredible feedback from family and residents, recent positive surveys from regulators, and a growing census at our Homes in King and Union Grove.

Want to know more? We encourage you to visit our homes, meet our skilled care staff, and take a tour of our excellent facilities. Also, you can ‘like’ and follow each of our homes on social media to stay up-to-date about the great people working there and the fun activities the homes regularly have planned for our members. Seeing is believing. Come check out our homes!

For more information on admissions eligibility, or how you can schedule a tour, please visit the WDVA Veterans Homes website: https://dva.wi.gov/services/wisconsin-veterans-homes/
