partnership with the national association of state veterans homes
(NASVH)
The Armed Forces Veterans Homes Foundation (AFVHF) is proud to be the partner of the National
Association of State Veterans Homes (NASVH).
Education
Our joint work focuses on the formulation of professional development programs to serve
the needs of Veteran Home administrators nationwide. This includes the provision of instruction
for administrators to earn continuing education credit needed each year to keep licenses
current in nursing home administration.
Fundraising
Our partnership also includes resource development to meet educational program expense
- and related costs of the NASVH annual meetings (both the Mid-Winter Meeting and the Summer
Conference.) AFVHF develops a trade fair in support of the NASVH Conference - and other
sponsorships for Veteran Home administrators as needed.
The photos featured on this page reflect the NASVH-AFVHF partnership at work at the 2005
Summer Conference which was held in Seattle, Washington. More
details on our sponsors can be found by here.
Proud NASVH History
NASVH was founded in New England in 1952 because of the mutual need to share common problems
and experiences at the national level. NASVH now is the largest provider of long term nursing
care in the United States. In FY 2003, State Veterans Homes furnished 5.60 million days
of nursing home care and 1.35 million days of domiciliary care to elderly and infirm veterans.
The goals of NASVH are:
- Establish and maintain the highest standard of domiciliary, nursing home and hospital
care for veterans and their dependents who are eligible for admission to Homes;
- Provide a coordinated, composite analysis of the financial and legislative support
required;
- Insure solidarity in the presentation of requirements to Congress and of its responsibility
in meeting those needs;
- Provide a clearinghouse for techniques and expertise in the care of veterans and
the management of State Homes;
- Establish and maintain a Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Veterans
Affairs to promote mutual concerns in providing quality care for veterans.
