The quality of care for the veteran will be accomplished through placement in a nursing home that is in close proximity to where the veteran and his family resides.

Notably, in the VA s community nursing home program, the veteran s placement decision is made by VA, the veteran, and the veteran s family. The geographic factor in these circumstances makes this requirement unique and, therefore, not subject to competition.
