Our homes provide a broad spectrum of health care and related services to those commonwealth veterans and their eligible spouses who are disabled, chronically ill or in need of specialized care. Our goal is to help our residents maintain the highest possible quality of life, in a comforting and comfortable environment.

Description:
The Delaware Valley Veterans Home is architecturally designed to seize full advantage of its peaceful setting. Every room in the facility has at least one wall of glass to fill it with natural light and offer views of meadows and woodland. Hallways have skylights to add to the bright and cheery environment. The public areas are large, bright and welcoming.
The home can serve up to 171 veterans and their eligible spouses. It is designed to meet a variety of levels of care:
The 30-bed Dementia unit is secured to help protect residents who have a tendency to wander.

There are two 50-bed skilled nursing units for residents who need more help with activities of daily living, including dressing, eating and bathing.

The Personal Care unit has 41 beds and is designed for residents who are more independent.

We are located just minutes from I-95 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Northeast Philadelphia at the border of Bucks County. The home offers a rural setting despite its city location with meadow and woodland views all around. Adding to the tranquil setting are the frequent sightings of deer, hawks and a variety of other wildlife.
