Veterans Home of California - Fresno

The Veterans Home of California-Fresno is a 300-bed, long-term care facility located on 27 acres in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley.

Opened in October 2013, the VHC-Fresno has 300 beds and presently offers Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE), also known as assisted living. Early next year the Home will also offer Skilled Nursing. The two levels of care will provide continuity in the lives of residents in a homelike atmosphere of dignity and respect. All healthcare needs, meals, transportation and activities are pro

vided by the Veterans Home of California-Fresno. Residents in the assisted living care area are required to need minimal assistance and supervision with most activities of daily living. Licensed nurses are available at the Home for necessary care. Skilled nursing care is provided to residents on a 24-hour basis by licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants. Skilled nursing residents have greater access to rehabilitation therapies, nursing care, pharmacy management, structured activities and clinical dietary services. A memory care program with this level of care provides a supervised environment for veterans with symptoms of confusion, memory loss, difficulty making decisions, solving problems or participating in conversations. The Veterans Home provides California veterans with a living environment that protects their dignity and contributes to their feeling of self-reliance and self-worth. The nearby City of Fresno offers many cultural and educational opportunities for Home residents to enjoy. Veterans considering assisted living are encouraged to apply. To qualify, you must be a resident of California, age 55 or older (or younger if disabled), and have served honorably. Spouses are also eligible to apply with the Veterans.

It was a glorious day at the Veterans Home of California-Fresno as residents, staff and their families gathered for the annual Easter Celebration! More than 50 children of all ages enjoyed face painting, Easter crafts, a magic show and of course an Easter Egg Hunt. The Master Gardeners set up a planting station where kids planted plants and decorated the pots. We also had a group of Assisteens, these are high school volunteers, come and help us out with the event. Our veterans love this celebration and look forward to it every year. They sit, side by side with the kids doing crafts and enjoying the magic show. We even had a special visit from the Easter bunny horse. From everyone at the Fresno Home, have a blessed Easter.

For more than 10 years, students from the Berean Christian High School have made a stop at the Veterans Home of California-Fresno to perform for our residents as part of their mission trip. Their voices united in song filled the dining room and flowed into the rest of the main lodge. This was a performance enjoyed by veterans and staff alike.
Prior to the Berean choir, Patrick Contreras performed music from his new collection, Violin on Fire. What an afternoon filled with music.

Valentines for Vets was a huge success this year for the residents at the Veterans Home of California-Fresno. We received thousands of cards, most of them hand made by elementary school students. We had the Action Club for Developmentally Delayed Adults deliver cards and candy. Then there was the Central High School’s FFA group delivered cards and strolled through the Home singing to our veterans. Hands on Central California brought cake pops and pistachio bread from Starbucks along with lots and lots of cards to distribute. Congressman Jim Costa brought more than a thousand cards donated by people in his district. Finally, some of our veterans ended Valentine’s Day cheering on the Fresno State men’s basketball team as they faced off against Air Force. All in all, it was a tremendous outpouring of love shown to our veterans, which they truly appreciated!

Elvis, aka Jeremy Pearce, had the ladies swooning and the guys tapping their feet to their favorite Elvis tunes. It was a great way to kick off the Valentines season with a “hunk of burning love” for our veterans. This was a show that young and old alike enjoyed.

What a great way to start the day for the residents at the Veterans Home of California-Fresno. Having a cup of coffee with members of our sister agency, the California Department of Highway Patrol. “Coffee with Cops” as they like to call it, was a wonder way for a few local CHP officers to get to know our veterans and more importantly, for our veterans get to know them. After spending the morning with our resident’s they let us know they would be back again.

What a wonderful Holiday Season it has been at the Veterans Home of California-Fresno. We had our annual visit from some gentle horses. We sang Christmas Carol’s in the lobby every Friday. We had numerous groups performing for our veterans. We distributed Christmas gifts to all of our residents from the community who participated in our Adopt a Vet for the Holidays. Congressman Jim Costa visited with the veterans and dropped off over 600 Christmas cards from different groups throughout his district. All-in-all, we were truly blessed with support from our community. Thank you to all who support our veterans not only during the Holidays, but throughout the year.

Every Friday in December leading up to Christmas, you can find the lobby of the Veterans Home of California-Fresno filled with veterans and even some staff singing Christmas Carols. The gathering usually starts small, but as the sounds of music fill the building, more and more people come to join together to celebrate the Holiday Season.
