What this benefit is

The Indiana Veterans' Home at West Lafayette provides long-term skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation and MEMORY CARE for honorably discharged Indiana veterans. It participates in the federal State Home Per Diem programme and in the CMS Spousal Impoverishment Program — which protects the assets of the spouse who stays at home, and is the part families most need to know about.

What it's worth: Skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation and memory care at West Lafayette

  • The home provides long-term skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation AND memory care. Memory care in particular is scarce and expensive privately.
  • It participates in the USDVA State Home Per Diem programme, which is what keeps the cost to the resident down.
  • It participates in the CMS Spousal Impoverishment Program. That protects the assets and income of the spouse who remains at home, and is the single most important thing for a married couple facing this.
  • Eligibility as published is honorably discharged Indiana veterans.
  • Charges are not published on the pages reviewed. Ask the home.

Who is entitled to it

  • You served in the U.S. armed forces.
  • You were discharged honorably.
  • You are an Indiana resident.

Not sure whether that describes you?

Answer a few questions about this benefit specifically — we only ask what this one actually depends on, and we stop as soon as we know.

How to claim it

  1. 1Contact the home at West Lafayette directly to start an admissions conversation.
  2. 2Ask specifically about the CMS Spousal Impoverishment Program if you are married. It protects the spouse staying at home and it is not something you will be told about unprompted.
  3. 3Say which level of care is needed — long-term nursing, short-term rehabilitation, or memory care. The routes differ.
  4. 4Ask about the State Home Per Diem and what the resident actually pays. The charges are not published.
  5. 5Your county veterans service officer can help with the paperwork at no cost.
