Asset Protection Law Firm Founder Victoria Collier Gives Overview Of VA Medical Foster Homes Program

DECATUR, Ga. - April 22, 2019 - PRLog -- Estate & Asset Protection Attorney, Victoria Collier turns her attention to a program that helps veterans in need of nursing home level care without having to go into a nursing home, but instead get to live in a caring home environment.

DECATUR, GA, April 22, 2019: Victoria L. Collier, founder of The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm, has posted a new blog on her law firm's website entitled "Foster Care Homes Program Provides For Veterans Who Can't Live On Their Own." Ms. Collier writes, "As a veteran and an attorney, I do everything I can to help my fellow veterans. Unfortunately, there are many veterans in our country who do not have family members to help them when they are elderly, ill and/or incapable of safely living on their own."

Collier goes on to say, "This is why I am writing this month about an amazing program designed to help these veterans. It is the VA Medical Foster Homes Program and it is designed to specifically help veterans who have serious, chronic disabling conditions that meet the nursing home level of care. These vets require health care coordination and increased access to VA services.

As Collier points out, "This amazing program helps veterans maintain a level of dignity of life in a loving home environment in a family environment with people who choose to provide care for these people who have served their country."

Collier references a U.S. News article published last year. She tells readers that, "the medical foster home program, "brings together a person who is willing to open their home and serve in the role of strong family caregiver" with a VA coordinator who manages the program, and a multidisciplinary home care team that provides in-home care to the veteran and training to the caregiver. The medical foster home is matched to the veteran's physical, social, emotional, supervision and safety needs."

According to Collier's article, "Currently 126 VA medical centers in 44 states and U.S. territories are operating or developing medical foster homes. More than 1,000 veterans are enrolled, with about 700 caregivers are participating in the program."
