Veterans' Long-Term Care: Choice in Medical Foster Homes

This act allows veterans unable to live independently to receive long-term care in approved medical foster homes outside of Department of Veterans Affairs facilities. The government will cover these costs, offering veterans more choice and support in a family-like setting. The program will be monitored to ensure its effectiveness and proper support.

Veterans needing long-term care can be placed in approved medical foster homes, with costs covered by the government.
The program is limited to an average of 900 veterans daily and will run for five years from enactment.
Veterans receiving this care must agree to accept home health services from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The Department of Veterans Affairs will monitor the program to assess its effectiveness and report any necessary changes to Congress.
