Pennsylvania offers its veterans six extended care facilities throughout the state. The level of care provided includes personal care, skilled nursing care, domicilliary care, and dementia care. These facilities offer qualified veterans and their spouses dedicated, superior care.

The residents, staff, and volunteers of the Pennsylvania Soldiers' and Sailors' Home extend a warm welcome to you.

Our home is situated on 26 pastoral acres overlooking Lake Erie and is steeped in history. Remodeled and modernized, our home provides state-of-the-art care and treatment in a homelike atmosphere.

A little-known fact is that spouses of veterans are eligible for admission. Merchant Marines with "oceangoing" service between December 1941 and August 1945 and veterans of the Pennsylvania National Guard are also eligible for admission.

Please contact us if you would like a personal tour of our home or if you would like to volunteer.

A resident of a state veterans home shall be required to make monthly payments against maintenance fee liability in accordance with the resident's ability to pay.
