The Erie VA Medical Center provides primary care , behavioral health care , and a number of specialty health care services including general surgery , whole health integrative services , audiology , optometry , pain management , weight management services , palliative and hospice care , and more to Veterans eligible for VA Healthcare . We especially would like to highlight the Medical Foster Home Program .
VA Medical Foster Home is an alternative to nursing home care for Veterans who are no longer able to safely live alone . The Medical Foster Home ( MFH ) Program offers Veterans more options to support independence in a home-like environment . MFH are private residences where the caregiver lives and provides continuous care and supervision to the Veterans , with the assistance of relief caregivers . This caregiver can help the Veteran carry out activities of daily living , such as bathing and getting dressed . VA ensures that the caregiver is well trained to provide VA planned care .
MFH is a voluntary long-term care placement option . VA can help you find a warm and caring MFH that meets high quality care and safety standards . Erie VAMC is currently seeking caregivers who are interested in providing Veterans with an enriching , home-like environment . For more information you can visit va . gov / geriatrics .
