Veterans Get Empowered Outside of Nursing Home With Foster-Care
"You're seeing a bit of a culture shift in understanding how care can happen.
- Kathryn West, who operates the Veterans Affairs Foster Care Program for Seniors
Interesting story in yesterday's Saint Paul Pioneer Press by Jeremy Olson about how the Department of Veterans Affairs has a new foster care program that is empowering seniors who need assistance, but not the intensive care of a nursing home, to live with foster care families. It looks at how one particular veteran Fred Gaertner has thrived. So interesting how a little different thinking can improve lives.
