VA supports state veterans' nursing homes in a number of ways, including reimbursement for a portion of the cost of providing nursing home services to veterans, issuance of policy guidance, and oversight of their nursing home operations. GAO was asked to determine the extent to which VA collects information on veterans in state veterans' nursing homes and the type of care they receive, to assess whether VA's reimbursement policy has been applied consistently, and to identify revenue sources such homes use. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-264/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-264.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-264/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-264.pdf GAO-06-264 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-264 Other Written Product GAO-06-264; VA Long-Term Care: Data Gaps Impede Strategic Planning for and Oversight of State Veterans' Nursing Homes; Data collection Federal/state relations Health care services Nursing homes Per diem allowances Statistical data Veterans' medical care Health policies Reimbursements Volume 113 Page 1545 113 Stat. 1545
