What is a Medical Foster Home? 

MFHs provide a safe, supportive, long-term care option for Veterans in a comfortable home environment.  MFHs can serve as an alternative to a nursing home for Veterans.  It may be appropriate for those who need nursing home care but prefer a non-institutional setting with fewer residents.  Veterans living in a MFH are required to receive health care services from the Lovell FHCC Home Based Primary Care (HBPC) team.  While Lovell FHCC helps coordinate care, MFHs are not currently provided or paid for by Veterans Affairs.  Cost for the MFH is the responsibility of the Veteran. The charge for a MFH varies based on income and the level of care needed.  The specific cost is agreed upon by the Veteran and the MFH caregiver ahead of time.

There is a new cartoon everyday.
