A Commissioner was appointed to lead the agency and the Department embarked on a mission to provide comprehensive health, social and rehabilitative services to veterans of the State of Connecticut. Subsequently, The Veterans' Home and Hospital program was reorganized into two separate and distinct programs: Veterans' Hospital Services and Residential and Rehabilitative Services. Thereafter, two divisions of care were formalized; the Health Care Facility, tasked with providing professional health care services meets the requirements to participate in Medicaid and Medicare programs; and the Residential Facility, which provides housing and support services for veterans.
