Since 1951, the VA's Community Residential Care Program (CRC) has provided health care supervision to eligible veterans who are not in need of acute hospital care, but because of medical and/or mental health conditions, need assistance and support to live in the community.
CRC homes are privately owned residences or group living facilities located in the community. Veterans receive:
3 meals per day assistance with activities of daily living as needed supervision of medications assistance with transportation to appointments and most importantly, a home.
