Veterans Home of California – Yountville – SNF provides 24-hour skilled nursing care that addresses the complex medical needs of older veterans. Registered nurses, licensed vocational nurses, and certified nursing assistants monitor residents around the clock, manage medications, perform wound care, and coordinate IV therapy or other physician-ordered treatments. An on-site medical clinic staffed by physicians and nurse practitioners reduces the need for outside trips and supports timely intervention for changes in condition. Rehabilitation services, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, are available to help residents regain or maintain mobility and function after illness, surgery, or injury.
Beyond direct medical interventions, the facility offers additional care features designed to support overall well-being. Staff members assist with daily activities such as bathing, grooming, dressing, and mobility, and care plans are individualized to account for each resident’s health history and personal preferences. Social workers coordinate discharge planning, help residents access VA benefits, and arrange transportation to specialty appointments when necessary. Behavioral health professionals provide counseling for issues such as PTSD or depression, and a palliative and hospice team is available for those needing end-of-life support.
Accommodations include a mix of private and semi-private rooms, each furnished with basic necessities and equipped with emergency call systems. Some rooms offer en-suite or shared accessible bathrooms, adjustable hospital-style beds, and built-in storage, while a portion of the inventory includes additional features such as individual climate controls or scenic views of the Napa Valley grounds. Housekeeping and laundry services are provided, and maintenance staff handle routine repairs. Not all accommodations have all the features just described, so prospective residents should clarify specific room details during their tour.
Residents take their meals in a central dining hall where three dietitian-planned menus are served each day, offering standard, heart-healthy, diabetic, and mechanically altered diet options. Kitchen staff can prepare alternative entrées for those with allergies or religious dietary requirements, and snacks are available between meals. For individuals recovering from illness or wishing for a quieter setting, tray service can be arranged. Periodic cookouts, holiday meals, and themed dining events add variety, and a small café on campus sells beverages and light fare for residents who prefer a more casual option.
