Collier County Veterans' Nursing Home Community Education Event

Collier County Commissioner Burt Saunders, District 3, hosted a Community Education Event for the Collier County State Veterans’ Nursing Home.
Commissioner Saunders was joined by Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart, Major General (RET) James Hartsell, and HMCS (RET) Bob Asztalos. The presentations included an update from the Florida Department of Veterans’ Affairs (FDVA) concerning the status of the proposed long-term care campus in Golden Gate City that will include a 120-bed skilled nursing facility, adjoining adult day health care, and a veterans community center. The goal is to provide a spectrum of quality long-term care services that our veterans have earned while serving our country.
The State Veterans’ Nursing Home will feature 120 skilled nursing beds in two “neighborhoods” of 60 beds. The Adult Day Health Care will have approximately 45 participant slots, allowing family caregivers to hold employment and/or take a well-deserved respite from caring for their loved ones.
