The VA Residential Care Program provides room, board, and limited personal care and supervision to veterans who do not require hospital or
nursing home care but because of medical or psychosocial health conditions are not able to live independently and have no suitable family resources
to provide the needed care. Care is provided at the veteran's own expense in private homes inspected by VA. The veteran receives monthly follow-up
visits from VA social workers and other health care professionals. If you wish to apply to become a sponsor in the Residential Care Home Program,
