🌟 Exciting News for Veterans' Care! Provider groups have reintroduced a bill aimed at expanding veterans' access to assisted living. This bill is a significant step towards addressing the growing need for long-term care options for our esteemed veterans and improving their access to quality care. The proposed bill focuses on expanding the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) Assisted Living Pilot Program, which currently provides assisted living services to eligible veterans in select locations. With this expansion, more veterans will have access to these vital services, and the program will be extended to additional locations across the country. Leading provider groups, such as the American Health Care Association and the National Center for Assisted Living, are fully backing this bill. They understand the importance of ensuring that our veterans have access to the care they need and believe that expanding the VA's Assisted Living Pilot Program will meet the growing demand for long-term care services. By expanding access to assisted living, this bill aims to provide veterans with a wider range of choices when it comes to their long-term care needs. It includes essential services such as personal care, medication management, and assistance with daily activities. Additionally, the bill seeks to improve coordination of care between the VA and assisted living facilities, ensuring veterans receive the necessary support and resources. Let's support this bill and recognize the ongoing efforts to improve and expand long-term care options for our veterans. They have selflessly served our nation, and it is our duty to ensure they receive the care and support they deserve. #VeteransCare #AssistedLiving #supportourveterans

The recent House of Representatives' passage of a bill to provide veterans additional access to the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) will improve their lives. The National PACE Association (NPA) urges swift Senate passage. The legislation would establish formal partnerships between PACE and nearby Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCs) located within their geographic service areas. This policy change would broadly increase access for veterans to the innovative PACE model of care so they may continue to live at home, despite needing a nursing home level of care. GrandPad’s purpose-built telehealth platform promotes the highest level of independence for older adults by providing virtual care for PACE participants in their homes.

📣 Last week, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs announced a remarkable milestone in Veteran healthcare! Over the past year, more than 53,000 women Veterans have enrolled in VA health care, marking the largest enrollment year ever for women Veterans and a 20% increase from the previous year. This historic achievement highlights the growing recognition and need for specialized health services tailored to women Veterans, the fastest-growing demographic within the Veteran community. The surge in enrollment is largely attributed to the PACT Act, signed into law in 2022, which has significantly expanded access to VA health care and benefits for Veterans exposed to toxic substances during their service. At VetsEZ, we are committed to supporting VA's mission to provide top-tier health care to all Veterans. We applaud these efforts and remain dedicated to leveraging innovative health IT solutions to enhance care delivery and accessibility for our nation's Veterans.

We are halfway through #nationalPACEmonth2023 , so I want to emphasize this year's theme: PACE: Where You Belong! The theme celebrates the ways that the PACE model of care builds and strengthens connections between enrollees, PACE caregivers, and family. Did you know that PACE enrollees are referred to as "participants," rather than "patients" or "members"? This model of healthcare & social support services truly encourages active participation in one's care planning, and open communication between participants/involved family and their PACE IDT care team!

Check out this insightful article from our CEO Richard Fish regarding the importance of PACE programs in today's senior care environment!

In a letter addressed to the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, the Western Governors' Association (WGA) advocates for better health care services for Veterans, including those in remote areas. As we know, access to audiologists, accurate communication channels, and quality services are critical for Veterans with hearing loss. WGA urges the VA to empower Veterans to make informed decisions about their healthcare, fostering a patient-centric approach that recognizes individual needs and preferences, and bolster its commitment to Veterans by creating additional Community Care and Vet Centers and expanding access to telehealth services. ❓ Know of health care services and resources for Veterans with hearing loss?

What’s scary about this report is it’s supposed to be about veterans and improving care. The majority of the report is about saving VA and preserving VA. Very little talk about increasing care to veterans. Would love to see Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) American Legion DAV (Disabled American Veterans) weigh in rather than sit by and watch Veterans access to care be eroded. Don’t be fooled when the Biden administration touts his care for veterans as his administration has eroded the progress we made in choice. Big question is if VA cares and does so well then why do veterans choose community care at ever increasing rates?
