Veterans Homes Association
What We Do:
We provide Veterans Home members with enrichment activities designed to help them enjoy the unique environment of our historic home. We also help foster relationships to support the emotional need for connection to others and to nature. Activities include golf tournaments to regenerate the human spirit and the Veterans Puppet Troop for creative communication.
The State provides space, shelter, and medical care which makes life possible. VHA provides quality of life activities and contacts, making life worthwhile.
Depression is a problem for many members with mobility and isolation issues. VHA has the capacity to mobilize resources, promote activities and facilitate member participation. Our beautiful, historic campus provides opportunities for outdoor activities to be enjoyed by our senior and disabled Veterans Home members and community volunteers.
Linkages to other comunity organizations are necessary for our program development. Volunteers and donations drive and guide our activities. Both are needed.
