AI Summary
This bill, the Long-Term Care Veterans Choice Act, authorizes the Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA) to enter into contracts and agreements with non-VA medical foster homes to provide long-term care for certain veterans who are unable to live independently. The bill allows the VA to place eligible veterans in these medical foster homes and pay for their care, subject to certain limitations. The bill also requires the VA to monitor and assess the program, and the Comptroller General to report on its implementation and impact. The goal is to provide veterans with more options for long-term care outside of traditional VA facilities.
