The Recovery Village
They volunteered their time and service to our country. They sacrificed their comfort and peace of mind. "They" are the veterans of the United States military. Many men and women retire from the military with memories they wish they didn’t have. For many of them, these thoughts have the power to wreak havoc on their lives and those of their loved ones. In many cases, veterans turn to drugs and alcohol as a result of various mental disorders associated with these thoughts, especially post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Luckily, there are resources available to help.

Urbandale Residents

Veterans who are injured in the line of duty face many challenges when they return home, including the inability to live an independent life. Whether fully or partially disabled, many need assistance with daily activities.

Thankfully, there are assisted living options that can help veterans who have disabilities, as well as elderly veterans who need help as they grow older. There are two basic ways for eligible veterans to receive assistance: obtain an assisted living benefit from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or apply for residency in a veteran's home.

The guide located here contains information about the benefit programs available from the VA. Learn whether you are eligible, how to apply, and what programs are available in your state.
