As part of its Capital Asset Management Service (CAMS) Program, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is seeking to more effectively assess and manage its real property assets. Many of VA’s medical campuses have underutilized property that may be converted to cash or in-kind services under its Enhanced-Use Lease (EUL) authority, allowing VA to build needed facilities to continue to deliver the highest quality of healthcare. VA Office of Asset Enterprise Management performed a comprehensive and systematic review of each of is real property assets and the Bath VA Medical Center (BVAMC) was one of the sites selected for an assisted living facility for Veterans and qualified non-Veterans.

The Bath VA Medical Center, part of VA Healthcare Network Upstate New York (VISN 2) is located in the Southern Tier of New York State. The Medical Center serves veterans in Allegany, Chemung, Steuben, parts of Schuyler and Yates counties, as well as veterans in north central Pennsylvania in Tioga and Potter counties.

BVAMC provides primary care, mental health care, specialty care, disease prevention, emergency and urgent care, acute care, and domiciliary residential to eligible Veterans in the VA Rocky Mountain Network. The BVAMC also provides primary and mental health care through community based outpatient clinics in Elmira, NY and Wellsville, NY.

VA plans to select a developer to finance, develop, operate, and maintain an assist living facility on a 70 acre EUL site. Upon completion of construction, the assisted living facility will provide Veterans with easy access to medical care at BVAMC. The new facility will provide assisted living housing to eligible Veterans on a priority basis.
