"The Southwestern Veterans' Center provides personal and skilled nursing care in a safe, secure and caring environment," said Rich Adams, SWVC commandant. "We encourage the public to stop by to take a tour, meet our staff, enjoy refreshments, participate in activities and experience the camaraderie of living with fellow veterans."

The home also offers year-round recreational activities such as crafts, games, musical entertainment, shopping, trips to local sporting events, as well as other stimulating activities.

"Our veterans have done so much through their service to this nation. I am humbled by the tremendous military history that walks through our halls every day," said Adams. "We wish all of our veterans a Happy Veterans Day and look forward to discussing the benefits of living in our veterans homes with their families at the open house."

Adams said if you are a veteran or the spouse of a qualified veteran with health care needs, please contact the home to discuss long-term care options available to you.
