Homecoming for veterans in Coeur d'Alene

Melissa Hostetler working with VA medical foster program in Coeur d'Alene

VA medical foster homes are privately owned residents where the owner lives and provides continuous care and supervision to paying veterans, with assistance from relief caregivers. The owner/caregivers can help the veteran carry out daily activities, like getting dresses, transportation and coordinating medical or other appointments.
