About Us
The Vineland Veterans Home is the state’s oldest continually operating veteran’s home, having opened its doors in 1899. The Vineland Home has been providing services to New Jersey Veterans from every war or armed conflict since the Civil War.
Our new replacement facility was constructed on the same site of the previous buildings and opened its doors in 2005. This new state-of-the-art nursing home can accommodate 300 residents. The Home is Medicare certified and is licensed by the State of New Jersey to provide skilled nursing home services. Additionally, the Home is also certified by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs to provide long-term care services.
Eligibility
The Home is open to veterans who have been discharged, other than dishonorably, from US Military Services after serving during war or peacetime for at least 90 days, spouses of veterans, and Gold Star Parents. A spouse/widow/widower must be at least 50 years of age and must have been married to the veteran for a period of not less than 10 years.
Facilities & Services
Comprehensive services and a deep concern for the residents go hand-in-hand at our state-operated veterans nursing home. Around-the-clock medical and nursing care is provided by a staff of physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants. Rehabilitative services, such as occupational and physical therapies, speech therapy, and restorative nursing services are provided under the supervision of contracted licensed therapists.
For the convenience and comfort of the residents, the home features beautifully decorated dining rooms, fully equipped beauty and barber shops, lounges for socializing and watching television, landscaped outdoor areas, and a chapel for religious services for all faiths.
Activity, Volunteer & Donation Programs
Residents are encouraged to be active in an environment which stimulates involvement, self-esteem, productivity and freedom for independent choices. This is accomplished by providing diverse recreational activities of interest to each resident. Activities provided are physical, social, intellectual, sensory, spiritual, creative, and community oriented. Recreational activities are available to the veteran home residents on an individual basis, small or large group, or independent participation. Activities are available 7 days of the week, including evenings.
Our volunteers and donations are incorporated into our Activity Programs to provide a full array of activities for each resident according to his or her capacity and preference thereby ensuring an enhanced quality of life.
