Veterans Home of California – Chula Vista provides licensed nursing-home care designed for older veterans who need continuous clinical oversight. Registered nurses, licensed vocational nurses, and certified nursing assistants are on duty around the clock to deliver medication administration, wound management, IV therapy, and other skilled services prescribed by attending physicians. The team monitors vital signs, manages chronic conditions common to the resident population, and collaborates with local VA Medical Center specialists to keep care plans current.
Additional care features at the community include on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy aimed at maintaining or restoring mobility and communication skills. A clinical social worker coordinates behavioral-health support, while an in-house pharmacy service and consulting dietitian ensure medications and nutritional interventions meet each resident’s medical requirements. The facility arranges transportation to outside medical appointments, provides laboratory and radiology coordination, and offers hospice or palliative care when needed. An emergency call system links residents to staff at any time of day or night.
Residences include a mix of private and semi-private rooms equipped with accessible bathrooms, adjustable beds, individual climate controls, basic cable, and internet connectivity. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are provided, and common lounges give residents additional space to relax or visit with guests. Not all accommodations have every feature, so prospective residents and their families should review the specific room options during a tour.
Meals are prepared on site under the guidance of a registered dietitian, with three balanced meals and snacks offered daily in a communal dining room. Menus accommodate therapeutic diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, and mechanical-soft, and in-room tray service is available for residents who are recovering from illness or prefer to dine privately. Staff assist those who need help with eating, and hydration stations remain stocked throughout the day so residents can access beverages between meals.
