This paper describes the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) home care program and compares it to community-based programs. Structure and process data were collected on hospital based home care programs in VA facilities nationwide (n=75). Supplemental data were obtained on staffing and patient attributes. Although the VA provides program guidelines, some variability was noted. The characteristics of VA programs and patients were then compared to National Center for Health Statistics survey data. This comparison revealed that VA programs provide a more comprehensive array of services to patients including physician home visits than most community-based programs.
