Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home, located in Augusta's downtown medical community, is dedicated to providing continuous professional nursing care to veterans of Georgia who have served in the armed forces during war times. Owned and funded by the Georgia Department of Veterans Service, the home operates through an interagency agreement with Augusta University, positioning it as a leader in geriatric educational training for the university's students.
As one of two skilled nursing care homes for eligible war veterans in Georgia, the primary mission of Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home is to offer high-quality skilled nursing care while striving to enhance the quality of life and overall health of its residents. To be eligible for admission, veterans must be current Georgia residents who have served on active duty in the U.S. armed forces during specific wartime periods.
Veterans interested in residing at the Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home can apply for admission through the GWVNH Admissions Office or any GDVS Veterans Field Service Office. A nominal daily fee is charged for eligible veterans, although those with a service-connected disability rating of 70 percent or higher or admitted due to a service-connected condition have their daily fee fully covered by the VA. Additionally, eligible veterans can apply for the federal Aid & Attendance benefit to help offset the daily fee.
To be considered for admission to the Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home, veterans must submit required forms, which can be obtained through the Points of Contact for the facility. The home is committed to counseling, advising, and assisting Georgia's veterans and their families, ensuring they receive the care and support they deserve.
