 The Division of Veterans’ Homes includes the state Veterans’ Homes located in Bellevue, Norfolk, Grand Island and Scottsbluff. These Homes have approximately 800 employees who serve almost 800 members.

The four Homes focus on wellness and allowing people to live their lives to the fullest extent possible. Medical, nursing and rehabilitative services are tailored to the needs of the members. Services range from assisted living, for members able to essentially care for themselves, to skilled nursing care. There are specialized services like physical therapy, plus a wide range of recreational and religious services.

Admissions to the four Homes are determined on a case-by-case basis, based on each person’s income and assets, by the Veterans’ Homes Board, a separate, independent entity. Various veterans’ organizations donate time, money and companionship to people living in the Homes. This unique relationship creates a positive difference in the quality of life of our members.
