     The Veterans Homes of California serves former military personnel by providing quality residential and medical care.

     Whether one resides at Barstow, Chula Vista or the Yountville Home, the facility is truly home to men and women veterans throughout California. They offer a comfortable environment in which residents lead productive lives, form friendships and deal with disability and aging.

     Residents have earned certain rights bestowed to them as veterans. The right to be treated with dignity and respect, the right to competent health care and the right to a clean and safe living environment.
