Watch a short video about the Veterans Homes
A significant portion of the mission of the California Department of Veterans Affairs is "to provide the
state's aged or disabled veterans with rehabilitative, residential, and medical care and services in a
home-like environment at the California Veterans Homes."
The Veterans Home of California is first and foremost a place where veterans come to live. It offers complete
medical and dental care amidst the amenities of a small town atmosphere. Residents may participate in on- or
off-campus activities, civic affairs or attend veterans service organization meetings. On campus, residents
have the option of participating in the Therapeutic Employment Program or by helping other veterans through
volunteer service. On-campus libraries offer a wide variety of reading material to satisfy the most avid reader.
Activites include, but are not limited to, dances, social events, special programs, arts and crafts and
gardening, to name a few. All three campuses have golf courses and swimming pools close by.
Most residents may come and go as they wish or simply enjoy the peace and quiet of their rooms. The goal is
to enable all residents to achieve their highest quality of life in an atmosphere of dignity and respect.
The resident population at each campus is representative of many diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
No matter which campus you choose, the California Department of Veterans Affairs wants the Veterans Home of
California to be your true home.
