We are excited to welcome loved ones back to the Wisconsin Veterans Homes for in-room visits. It’s wonderful to see loved ones together in person after months apart.

Thank you to VFW Department of Wisconsin and The Nation of Patriots for teaming up with VORP to support a local veteran with his transportation needs.

Members and staff at the Wisconsin Veterans Home at Chippewa Falls recently received COVID-19 vaccinations. We are proud to roll up our sleeves to keep our community safe!

With safety in mind, some of the community areas at the Veterans Home at King have re-opened to members, and each nursing building has been taking turns visiting.

WDVA's VORP staff have resumed some face-to-face meetings and are again visiting some of the known locations where we typically find veterans who need our services.

Every person who gets vaccinated helps bring an end this pandemic and protects the vulnerable population that we serve at our Wisconsin Veterans Homes.

The Wisconsin Veterans Home at King is grateful to have an amazing dental team on campus. Thank you to our dental team for all you do for our members.
