ODVS Needs Your Help
Heroes,
I really need your help in getting veterans to complete the below anonymous survey. The Ohio Department of Mental Health plans on using the results of this survey as a baseline for helping veterans and their families throughout the State of Ohio. To date, very few veterans have responded, which in turn has put the success of this project at risk. This is an opportunity that we cannot miss. So please, please assist the State in gathering the information we need to help all those who we are committed to serve.
Thanks in advance for your help.

None Better In The Nation
Ohio Veterans homes fully comply with all VA standards
The Ohio Department of Veterans Services Veterans’ Homes in Sandusky and Georgetown are in full compliance with all 158 medical and other standards rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The VA’s recently completed survey carefully examined the homes in Erie and Brown Counties for quality of medical care of the residents, patient rights, management practices and safety.
Initially, the VA found that the Sandusky home exceeded a 14 hour guideline between dinner and breakfast, but a late night snack opportunity quickly satisfied that requirement. The Georgetown home did not have a photo copy of one local pharmacist’s license on file at the home, but a copy was made and filed as soon as administrators learned of the minor oversight.
Ohio Department of Veterans Services Director Bill Hartnett said the VA’s superior ratings easily are attributed to the staff of professionals who are devoted to serving the Ohio Veterans who served our country.
“The dedicated people who care for our military Veterans spend every hour of ever day saying, ‘thank you for your service to our country,’ ” said Director Hartnett. “They care for our men and women Veterans who range in age from 24 to 100 years.”
The Ohio Department of Veterans Services facilities are located in Sandusky, 60 miles west of Cleveland and in Georgetown, 45 miles east of Cincinnati.
The Sandusky Home offers standard care and special care in its licensed nursing home, the largest in Ohio and one of the largest in the nation. The home also has a Veterans hall, a domiciliary (DOM) for those who can function in an independent living situation, and a DOM Plus facility for those requiring very limited assistance (supervised care) but who do not require the higher level of care provided to nursing home residents.
The Georgetown Home is a licensed nursing home providing two levels of nursing care; standard care and special care for Veterans suffering from Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia.
Regardless of what levels of care are required, all residents have the freedom and convenience of a small community as well as the comforts of a home-like setting. The Ohio Veterans Home Agency offers a quality of life which emphasizes privacy, encourages independence, provides comfort and security, and meets social needs.
