The Veterans’ Home of Wyoming (VHW) provides a secure, caring home for veterans in a beautiful mountainside setting in Buffalo. VHW offers more than just room and board or medical support; we strive to be a community of caring people.
VHW offers two distinct but connected communities:
VHW Assisted Living Community
-
This community offers what is known as “domiciliary care,” which is similar to assisted living care in the private sector and includes food, shelter and other support.
-
Residents are able to maintain their own basic activities of daily living, but may need a little help or may face challenges that prevent them from earning a living through employment.
- There are two-room suites for married couples and private rooms for single residents.
- Residents are free to come and go as they please, with plenty of transportation. Some residents have their own vehicles.
VHW Skilled Nursing Community
-
This community offers skilled nursing care, which is similar to what is found in private sector nursing homes. Three specialized cottages offer a resident-centered model of care known as the “Greenhouse” approach.
- Residents in this community receive food and shelter, and reached a point where they need a higher level of care.
- There are three new modern cottages with single rooms for each resident.
- Each cottage includes a fireplace, as well as a living and dining area to ensure a homelike atmosphere and setting.
