Located in the heart of scenic Napa Valley, the Veterans Home of California-Yountville (VHC-Yountville) is a community of and for veterans. Founded in 1884,
VHC-Yountville is the largest veterans’ home in the United States, offering residential accommodations with a wealth of recreational, social, and

for the Elderly (RCFE), intermediate Care, Skilled Nursing Care, and a “Memory Care Center” for residents with various forms of dementia. General acute
care is provided at Queen of the Valley Hospital in Napa, St. Helena Hospital in St. Helena, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center
in San Francisco.
The Yountville Home is also a focal point for the Napa Valley Community with the 1,200 seat Lincoln Theater (home of the Napa Valley Symphony), 9-hole
golf course, Recreational Vehicle (RV) park, Borman Field baseball stadium, bowling lanes, swimming pool, and a military Base Exchange branch store.
All of these facilities are available for use by resident veterans at no additional cost. Additionally, the home offers services specifically for
