VISION
The Florida Department of Veterans' Affairs is the premier point of entry for Florida veterans to access earned services, benefits and support.

VETERANS' BENEFITS
The Florida Department of Veterans' Affairs (FDVA) is a cabinet agency created to assist all present and former members of the Armed Forces of the United States and their dependents and survivors in preparing claims for and securing such compensation, pension, hospitalization, vocational training, employment assistance and other benefits or privileges they may have earned. All services rendered by FDVA are without charge to the claimant.

ASSISTED LIVING AND LONG TERM CARE
FDVA operates six state veterans' nursing homes and one Domiciliary Home (Assisted Living Facility). These homes are non-profit, both state and federally funded, and are monitored by Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
