Officials broke ground for the Fayetteville Veterans Home on September 3, 2004. We welcomed our first resident on June 21, 2006. The Veterans Home is a state owned facility under the Arkansas Department of Veterans Affairs. Our veterans home is a licensed 108 bed, Medicaid and Medicare, skilled nursing facility. In addition, we have been approved and recognized by the Federal Veterans Administration as being a qualified state veterans home.
One of the benefits of being a state veterans home, is that we are required to provide RN coverage for all three shifts, 24 hours a day. This is not a requirement for private nursing homes. Another service we provide to our veterans, their families and visitors is security personnel on site 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
