Dj Jacobetti Home for Veterans provides nursing-home level care designed for former service members who need continuous medical oversight. Licensed nurses are on duty around the clock to handle medication administration, wound care, IV therapy, and routine health monitoring. Physicians visit the facility regularly and are on call for urgent issues, coordinating care plans that may include rehabilitation services such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy. The staff is trained to manage chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and COPD, and can accommodate residents who require mobility assistance or specialized equipment.
Beyond core medical services, the facility offers case management, social work support, and discharge planning to ensure continuity of care if a resident’s needs change. On-site therapy gyms allow residents to work on recovery goals without leaving the building, while contracted specialists provide podiatry, dental, audiology, and optometry services as needed. A secured memory-care area is available for veterans living with dementia, and hospice coordination is offered for those who need end-of-life support. Transportation to outside medical appointments is arranged when a service is not available on campus.
Accommodations include a mix of private and semi-private rooms, each furnished with basic necessities such as a bed, dresser, and chair. Many rooms have individually controlled heating and cooling, wheelchair-accessible bathrooms, and built-in emergency call systems, but not all accommodations have all these features. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance are handled by staff, and common lounges give residents places to read, watch television, or visit with family. Outdoor patios and walking paths are available for those who wish to spend time outside, weather permitting.
Dining services provide three meals a day prepared in an on-site kitchen under the guidance of a registered dietitian. Menus rotate regularly and include options for therapeutic diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, and mechanical-soft. Residents typically eat in a communal dining room to encourage social interaction, though meals can be delivered to a room during illness or recovery. Snacks and beverages are accessible between scheduled meal times, and residents can submit feedback to the food service team to request favorite dishes or adjust portion sizes.
