WISCONSIN VETERANS HOMES
Whether you are simply looking for a safe, clean facility with all the benefits that are offered, or you need some assistance in your daily living, the Wisconsin Veterans Homes can meet your expectations. The Wisconsin Veterans Homes are located at King, near Waupaca, and at Union Grove. These are pleasant retirement communities where aging or disabled Wisconsin veterans and their spouses can spend their declining years in comfort and dignity.
Eligibility and Residency Requirements
To be admitted to the Home, veterans must meet criteria for military service and state residency.
The veteran must have entered service from the state of Wisconsin, or must have resided in the state of Wisconsin for 12 consecutive months since his/her discharge from military service. A spouse of a veteran can also reside at the Wisconsin Veterans Home, provided they are admitted while the veteran is at some type of facility (i.e. assisted living, nursing home, hospital) or if the spouse is a widow/widower.
While more information and a videotape is available at the County Veterans Service Office, a personal visit to King or Union Grove is recommended.
