Guess he’s not a hero to the Left like a certain other veteran in his 90s honored in Canada recently .
I had and have some doubts about this story.
I am a former USAF officer.
The facility is called Island Shores Assisted Living. There is a difference between Assisted Living and Nursing Homes (usually nowadays called Memory Care). There are three levels of senior residence — Independent Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care.
The VA will not cover Assisted Living. The VA has a vast network of various kinds of nursing homes, but they do not cover Independent Living or Assisted Living.
We’ll take the situation at this old guy’s claim (but I can assure you there is a huge number of old guys who buy a hat and have no DD214 in their records), but they gave him 6 weeks to find alternatives. He doesn’t move that fast? Shaky complaint. 6 weeks is not nothing. If he has no Dementia (and if he did the VA would have him in a nursing home), 6 weeks is not bad.
I think the story is hyped a bit. More than a bit.
