Key Points

This bill aims to stop State Veterans Homes from having to go through two separate, nearly identical inspections by different government agencies. Currently, these homes often face one review from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and another from the agencies that handle Medicare and Medicaid.
Under the new plan, if the VA inspects and approves a veterans home, that home will automatically be considered in compliance with Medicare and Medicaid rules. This change is meant to save time and money while cutting down on repetitive paperwork for the people running these facilities.
To make sure veterans still get high-quality care, the VA and the health department must check their rules every two years to ensure they stay aligned. The government can still step in and do its own surprise inspection if there are complaints about safety or poor treatment.
Information about how these homes are performing will be posted on the Nursing Home Care Compare website. This allows families to see inspection results and quality scores in one place, making it easier to choose the right home for a loved one.
