Join the VA Medical Foster Home Program!

The Lt. Charles S. Kettles Ann Arbor VA Medical Center is committed to finding alternatives to long-term care for our Veterans. While in-home support may not be suitable for every Veteran, we have successfully collaborated with caregivers for over ten years, creating care-family environments for Veterans who prefer a home setting.

About Our Program:

• Current Reach: We currently have five homes within the Ann Arbor VA territory and are ambitiously expanding to fifteen homes.
• Objective: Help Veterans stay in a comfortable and least restrictive environment – a true home – with compassionate caregivers.

Support for Caregivers:

• Education and Training: We provide comprehensive education and support to caregivers who wish to open their homes to Veterans.
• Interdisciplinary Care Team: Caregivers receive primary care support from our experienced interdisciplinary care team, ensuring Veterans receive the best care possible.

To qualify, the home must be the primary residence of the caregiver.

Join Us:
We have a dedicated coordinator ready to discuss how your home could become a VA Medical Foster Home. This is your opportunity to make a meaningful impact on a Veteran's life.
