Expanding Services at State Veterans' Homes
This proposed bill would allow state veterans' homes in Tennessee to provide a wider range of services beyond just skilled nursing care to honorably discharged veterans. Previously, these facilities were limited to offering only skilled nursing services. This change could affect veterans who are seeking non-nursing care and the staff at veterans' homes who will now be able to offer additional types of support. The effective date for this proposed bill is not specified.
