Description:
The Geriatrics, Rehabilitation & Extended Care Center has a 60-bed nursing facility and provides convalescence, rehabilitation, geriatric and geri-psychiatric assessment to eligible veterans in an inpatient setting. The Center for Aging program is designed for veterans who are not acutely ill and who could benefit from an interdisciplinary geriatric treatment program. The goal of the program is to improve veterans' physical and/or psychological functioning so that they may return to independent living, be discharged to their own home, or to some alternative care program. Veterans must be enrolled in the VA Health Care System and meet the nursing home eligibility criteria.
