Honoring Those Who Served: VA-Funded Care at EdenHill Communities
For Veterans and their families, navigating healthcare options can feel overwhelming—especially when trying to understand what benefits are available and how to use them.
At EdenHill Communities, honoring those who served goes beyond words. Through VA-funded care programs, eligible Veterans can receive skilled nursing, rehabilitation, respite and long-term care—right here in New Braunfels, close to family, friends, and the place they call home.
What Is VA-Funded Care?
VA-funded care allows eligible Veterans to receive healthcare services outside of a VA facility through approved community providers like EdenHill.
EdenHill participates in two key programs:
Community Care Network (CCN)
Community Nursing Home (CNH)
These programs expand access to care when:
A VA facility is too far away
Specific care needs cannot be met by the VA directly
This means Veterans don’t have to travel far or leave their community to receive high-quality care.
Types of Care Available to Veterans
Short-Term Rehabilitation (CCN Program)
The Community Care Network (CCN) provides coverage for:
Skilled nursing care following a hospital stay
Rehabilitation after surgery or illness
Respite
Support to help Veterans regain strength and return home
In many cases, these stays are covered for up to 30 days.
Long-Term Skilled Nursing (CNH Program)
The Community Nursing Home (CNH) program supports Veterans who need:
24-hour skilled nursing care
Assistance with daily living activities
Ongoing medical supervision
For qualifying Veterans, the VA covers 100% of the cost of a semi-private room, making this an incredibly valuable benefit.
What Costs Are Veterans Responsible For?
Under the CNH program:
The VA covers the full cost of a semi-private room
Veterans who prefer a private room pay only the daily difference
This allows families to choose the level of comfort that works best for them while still benefiting from VA support.
Who Qualifies for VA-Funded Care?
Eligibility is determined by the VA, but generally includes:
A documented service-connected disability rating (typically 65% or higher)
A referral from a VA provider
Assignment to a VA social worker
Additional factors may be reviewed based on individual circumstances.

One of the most valuable parts of receiving care at EdenHill is the support families receive throughout the process.
