The Orlando VA Medical Center, serving an area of nearly 90,000 veteran patients in East Central Florida, is one of seven members of the VISN 8 Healthcare System. The Orlando VA Medical Center includes the Orlando VA Medical Center, the Community Living Center, the Residential Rehabilitation Program, the Viera Outpatient Clinic, the Daytona Outpatient Clinic, and four Community Based Outpatient Clinics located in Clermont, Kissimmee, Leesburg, and Orange City. The East Central Florida veteran population is slated for a new hospital to be built in 2012. This much needed facility will make it easier for east central Florida veterans to access VA’s world-class medical center and relieve the burden of traveling long distances for their inpatient care.

Community Living Center

The Orlando VA Community Living Center (formerly called the Orlando VA Nursing Home Care Unit) provides compassionate, person-centered care in a safe and home-like environment to eligible veterans who require nursing home level care. The goal of care is to restore function, prevent decline, maximize independence, and provide comfort when dying. The goals of care are achieved in an environment where the veteran is respected, treated with dignity, and invited to be an active participant in his/her care. Attention is given to making the veteran feel at home. We emphasize enhancing and supporting the veteran’s quality of life.

Veterans are eligible to receive care in the Orlando VA Community Living Center if they meet the current eligibility criteria for Nursing Home benefits and the veteran is in need of the level of care and services available. The Orlando VA Community Living Center is fully accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and offers a wide variety of specialized long term care services to eligible veterans.
