Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home stands as a dedicated skilled nursing care facility designed specifically for the unique needs of Georgia’s wartime veterans. Located conveniently within Augusta's downtown medical community, the home offers continuous professional nursing care to those who have served in the armed forces during designated periods of conflict. Ownership and funding of the home are provided by the Georgia Department of Veterans Service, ensuring that operations and resources are fully aligned with the needs and priorities of Georgia's veterans.
The operational partnership with Augusta University allows Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home to serve as a leading site for geriatric educational training. Through this collaboration, the home benefits from access to advances in healthcare education, which directly benefits residents by providing them with high-quality and up-to-date medical and nursing care. This setting not only caters to the health and well-being of veterans but also serves as a hands-on educational environment for future healthcare professionals.
Admission to Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home is reserved for individuals who are current Georgia residents and who have served on active duty in the United States armed forces during established wartime periods. The home charges a nominal daily fee for its services, but eligible veterans have access to federal financial benefits, such as the Aid & Attendance benefit, to help offset these costs. For veterans with a service-connected disability rating of 70 percent or higher, or whose admission is based on a service-connected condition, the Veterans Affairs covers the daily fee in full, ensuring that financial barriers do not impede access to quality care.
Georgia War Veterans Nursing Home maintains its mission to provide not only skilled nursing services but also ongoing support that seeks to improve residents’ quality of life and overall health. In addition to excellent medical care, the facility offers opportunities for families to visit, including both indoor spaces and the use of the courtyard for outdoor visitations as weather permits. The home remains committed to respecting the dignity of every veteran it serves, upholding a standard of care that honors their service and sacrifices.
