Why This Had to Be Built
When I came home from Afghanistan, I started paying attention to what happened to veterans as they got older. The ones who needed daily care were being placed in nursing facilities that felt nothing like the life they had lived. Institutional. Impersonal. Managed.
I knew the VA had programs designed to do something different. The Medical Foster Home program, Community Residential Care — programs specifically built to give veterans a home-based option. But the supply of approved homes was nowhere near the demand. Veterans were waiting. Families were frustrated. And the people who understood veterans best were not the ones running the homes.
"I asked myself what I would want for someone I served alongside. The answer was simple. A real home. Real people. The dignity they earned."
So I built it. Seven properties across three states, structured to participate in every major VA residential care program, operated with one non-negotiable standard: every decision gets made the way it would if the veteran living there was someone I served with.
