About the Veterans Community Living Center at Homelake

The Veterans Community Living Center at Homelake, which is located in Monte Vista, was established in 1889 as the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home, providing a peaceful home for aging and disabled Civil War veterans. Homelake, which believes in honoring its residents with compassionate, dignified care, has been preserving memories and honoring veterans from every major war in U.S. history.

The Veterans Community Living Center at Homelake offers the following services:
