SKILLED NURSING CARE<br />
Skilled Nursing Care (SNF) provides the 24-hour services of licensed nurses. It is<br />
more comprehensive than intermediate care, but less comprehensive than acute<br />
care. SNF patients may receive rehabilitation therapies, nursing, pharmaceutical,<br />
activity, and dietary services. A Memory Care program within the SNF level of<br />
care provides a supervised environment for veterans with symptoms of moderateto-severe<br />
confusion, memory loss, or for veterans who have difficulty making<br />
decisions, solving problems or participating in conversation. SNF is available at<br />
Barstow, Chula Vista, Fresno, Redding, West Los Angeles and Yountville.<br />
ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS<br />
OUTPATIENT CLINIC<br />
The outpatient clinic at the VHC is established to serve residents who live in the<br />
residential care for the elderly or the domiciliary neighborhoods. These clinics<br />
provide primary care and multidisciplinary assessments. The clinics address<br />
routine care needs and will arrange visits with medical specialties as needed.<br />
Outpatient clinics are available at all VHC.<br />

in the Military and <strong>Veteran</strong>s Code, Sections 1010 through 1050. State regulations<br />
