Our nation’s veterans have devoted their lives to protecting and serving our country. As they age and transition into skilled nursing facilities, it’s our shared responsibility to ensure they receive the utmost care and support they rightfully deserve. Treating elderly veterans with respect involves demonstrating patience, recognizing their service, and acknowledging their life experiences.

We understand the unique needs of veterans and offer easily accessible tools to assist skilled nursing facilities in comprehensively meeting those needs. At The Compliance Store, our mission transcends mere compliance; we strive to elevate the standard of care. Our resources empower nursing homes to infuse compassion, knowledge, and a veteran-centric approach into their delivery.

Challenges of Veteran Care

Navigating the intricacies of managing behavioral health for veterans within nursing homes presents unique challenges for staff. Veterans, often carrying the weight of service-related traumas, require specialized attention considering their experiences and needs. Balancing the provision of dignified care with the complexities of behavioral health issues such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety demands a deep understanding of trauma-informed approaches.

Nursing home staff must skillfully address triggers, create safe spaces, and foster trust all while still aligning with regulatory standards. Our gallery consists of the most up-to-date trauma-informed care policies and pieces of training, which are valuable tools for facilities looking to offer their residents top-tier care.

Veteran Care Resources

Cognitive Rehabilitation: Many veterans grapple with cognitive challenges stemming from their service experiences. Our Cognitive Rehabilitation resources furnish evidence-based methodologies to help facilities devise personalized rehabilitation programs. Skilled nursing facilities can significantly enhance veterans’ cognitive well-being by precisely addressing cognitive impairments and making adjustments accordingly.

Understanding PTSD: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a profound concern for veterans. This resource gives insight into the nature of PTSD, its triggers, and its impact on their lives. Equipped with this understanding, facilities can provide informed empathy and support, catering to the needs of veterans facing PTSD.

PTSD Checklist: Analyzing an individual’s unique diagnosis of PTSD is important to know how to carve out the best way to care for said individual. This allows staff to understand what may have happened to the resident, who may have been involved, and a list of problems that people sometimes encounter in response to a very stressful experience. Breaking down symptoms into a checklist can assist in presenting a structured path of care when presented with challenges.

Along with these specific documents, there are also several Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) resources available that discuss relevant information that pertains to these residents directly. The selection upon subscribing is not just limited to skilled nursing facility care but also branches out to hospice and palliative care.
