Veterans Health Program

The Veterans Health Program is managed by River Valley Health for Veterans Affairs Canada. The 47-bed facility provides residential care for veterans requiring a higher level of care than can be provided in the community. An interdisciplinary team of health care providers offers care and support to the long-term care resident within the philosophy of a resident/family-centred model.

The program provides service to residents with long-term or special care needs, e.g., those with dementia or requiring palliative care.

The Veterans Health Program opened a Veterans Day Centre in September 2003, offering respite care to family members caring for veterans in their homes. The veteran is assessed and participates in various therapeutic programs for all, or part of a day. For information, call the program director at 506-452-5034.
