Abstract
This document amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) "Medical" regulations to add rules relating to medical foster homes. Prior to this final rule, VA's medical foster home program had, whenever possible and appropriate, relied upon regulations governing community residential care facilities; however, those regulations did not cover all aspects of medical foster homes, which provide community based care in a smaller, residential facility and to a more medically complex and disabled population. This final rule reflects current VA policy and practice, and generally conforms to industry standards and expectations.
