Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 38, September 20, 2024

(a) Due to the limited number of beds available for male and female veterans, and for each level of care, waiting lists may be required. When waiting lists are in effect the Veterans Home shall select veterans for admission chronologically based on the date the application was received, by the level of care and category required. The following are the three main categories as defined in Section 503:

(1) Residential (Domiciliary)

(2) Intermediate Care

(3) Couples: All couples shall initially be admitted to a double room and await apartment placement. There are no apartments for couples at the Veterans Home of California, Barstow. Only double rooms for couple housing are available at the Barstow facility.
(A) Priority for admission to the Veterans Home as a couple shall be based on the date that the couple's application is received by the Veterans Home Admissions Office.

(B) The date that a couple enters the Home shall establish their priority for being assigned to an apartment.

(C) If two single members of the Veterans Home marry after admission, the date of the wedding shall establish their position on the waiting list for assignment to an apartment.

(b) As stated in Section 501.2 the Veterans Home shall determine an applicant's eligibility after a thorough review of all available military data (pursuant to Section 1012 of the Military and Veterans Code), medical and social information. As a result of this review and by applying the definitions in Section 503 the veteran's level of care shall be determined.

(c) The Veterans Home shall advise applicants of their position on the waiting list and the approximate waiting time before scheduled admission within five working days after their application has been approved. The Veterans Home shall provide updates on approximate waiting time to the veteran upon receipt of a written or verbal request from the veteran.
