Title: Definition of Domiciliary Care
Abstract: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its rule defining domiciliary care to more accurately reflect the scope and breadth of services provided under this program. The Domiciliary Care Program in VA was initially established to provide shelter and a home-like environment to veterans who could not live independently but did not require admission to a nursing home. The program has evolved as the needs of our veteran population have changed. We propose to update our regulations so that they clearly authorize veterans to receive a temporary assignment of a 100 percent service-connected disability rating when admitted to domiciliary care as a result of a service-connected disability for a period in excess of 21 days. This is consistent with current VA practice.
