Veterans In Care Recognition ceremony Sept. 19, Hearthstone of N. Nevada  
 
Launched this spring, the VIC mission seeks to reach Nevada’s veterans residing and receiving care and services in skilled care, residential care, and assisted living facilities. VIC, administered by the Nevada Department of Veterans Services, a state agency, represents an outreach to more than 400 facility care providers across Nevada that care for veterans in residency.  
 
So far, VIC has attracted participation by 75 facilities representing 1,048+ veterans. The vision of VIC currently encompasses three related components: education regarding Benefits and Programs; Veteran Culture Education and Training for facility staff; and Quality of Life Recognition and Communication for veteran residents.
