Nursing Home to Home program

Nursing Home to Home helps Veterans in VA-paid nursing homes safely return to their homes or home-like settings. It gives Veterans a chance to age in place, surrounded by the people and things that matter most to them.

Care we provide at Eastern Oklahoma VA Health Care System 

Our team works closely with Veterans and their families to craft a personalized care plan, ensuring a safe discharge and paving the way for long-term success at home.  

We offer: 

  • A dedicated care team, including a registered nurse (RN) and licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) 

  • Our care includes in-home visits before and after discharge, ensuring a smooth transition and continued support 

  • Health and safety assessments of the home 

  • Education and support for caregivers 

  • Coordination with VA and community services 

  • Our team conducts regular check-ins to monitor the health, safety and overall well-being of our Veterans 

Back where they want to be 

A nursing home isn’t always where a Veteran wants to be or spend their final days. Nursing Home to Home helps them return to a place that feels like theirs, with their favorite chair, their photos and their family. Veterans say they feel healthier and more like themselves. Families say it gives them back time they thought they’d lost.
