VA Contracted

Skilled nursing homes with a VA contract can provide long-term care services, short-term rehabilitation-to-home services and Hospice services – all paid for on behalf of the qualified veteran through their VA benefits.  

Eligibility for this benefit is determined by the veterans service connection (also known as vesting)  which is determined by the Veterans Administration.  A veteran’s years of service, combat status, and other factors go into this determination.  

The veteran must be between at least 70% service connected, or 60% service connected and unemployable to be eligible for benefits under the program. 

We work closely with the head of community care at the VA hospitals in the state of Missouri (Poplar Bluff, Columbia, St. Louis and Kansas City).  It is those individuals who will inform us and the veteran of the service connection.
