Orlando VA
Community Living Center (formerly called the Orlando VA Nursing Home
Care Unit) provides compassionate, person-centered care in a safe and
home-like environment to eligible veterans who require nursing home
level care. The goal of care is to restore function, prevent decline,
maximize independence, and provide comfort when dying. The goals of
care are achieved in an environment where the veteran is respected,
treated with dignity, and invited to be an active participant in his/her
care. Attention is given to making the veteran feel at home. We
emphasize enhancing and supporting the veteran’s quality of life.
