State Home Construction Grant Program - Surveys
State Veterans Homes (SVH) across the United States provide nursing home care, domiciliary care and adult day health care. The State receives a per diem payment from VA for providing care to eligible Veterans when VA recognizes the home as a SVH.
In addition, VA’s survey and certification process is required for the SVH that provides nursing home care, domiciliary care, or adult day health care to continue to receive per diem payments. The State owns, operates, and manages all SVHs. VA is required to survey SVHs to ensure the homes meet all applicable 38 C.F.R. Part 51 regulations to be eligible for continued per diem payments.
The VA Survey Team consists of surveyors from the VA-contracted survey vendor as well as a National State Veterans Homes Program Manager for Quality and Oversight. The surveyors are responsible for reviewing all applicable standards under subparts D, E, and F of title 38 C.F.R. Part 51; the National State Veterans Homes Program Manager for Quality and Oversight with primary responsibility for the SVH reviews all applicable standards under subpart C of 38 C.F.R. Part 51.
