N Y S Vets Home at Montrose
2090 ALBANY POST ROAD, Montrose, NY 10548
The New York State Veterans Homes are a group of skilled nursing facilities dedicated to serving veterans and their dependents. These state-owned facilities offer quality skilled nursing care and rehabilitative services, alongside conducting geriatric research and providing education for healthcare professionals. With locations in Batavia, Oxford, Montrose, and St. Albans, as well as an additional home operated by SUNY in Long Island, they collectively support the needs of New York's veteran community. The history of these homes dates back to the 1890s, stemming from a need to provide care for aging veterans and their spouses together. Now, many years later, the number of homes has grown and expanded their services to accommodate up to 870 residents across the state. These homes participate in the Federally sponsored State Home Program, a collaboration between state and Federal government to provide nursing home care to qualified veterans and their dependents.
