Understanding DVA Community Nursing
DVA Community Nursing is a Department of Veterans’ Affairs–funded program that provides eligible veterans and war widows with access to professional nursing care at home. The aim is to support health, independence, and wellbeing while reducing unnecessary hospital visits or early entry into residential care.
Through community nursing, veterans receive tailored clinical support aligned with their individual health needs, daily routines, and personal goals. This approach plays a vital role in enabling assisted living at home, where care adapts to the person—not the other way around.
How Community Nursing Supports Assisted Living at Home
Assisted living at home focuses on helping individuals manage daily activities safely while retaining autonomy. Community nursing strengthens this model by delivering medical and personal care services directly in the home environment.
Our nurses work closely with veterans, families, GPs, and allied health professionals to ensure seamless care that supports both immediate and long-term needs.
Key ways community nursing enables assisted living include:
- Ongoing health monitoring in familiar surroundings
- Early identification of health concerns
- Support with daily living and clinical care
- Reduced stress associated with travel and hospital stays
This coordinated care model ensures veterans can live confidently and comfortably at home.
