Section 44.21.035 STATE VETERANS' HOME FACILITIES.
(a) The Department of Administration shall apply for federal assistance to establish and operate state veterans' home facilities that provide domiciliary care. The department, within available funds, shall establish and operate veterans' homes at sites selected by the commissioner of administration after consultation with the adjutant general and veterans' organizations.
(b) A person who resides in a veterans' domiciliary home operated under this section shall pay the Department of Administration a monthly charge established by the department by regulation in payment of the cost of the care. The charges shall be designed so that, when combined with federal or other nonstate assistance that may be received on behalf of the residents, all costs of care are paid by residents. The regulations may provide for exemptions or reductions based upon hardship.
(c) In this section, "domiciliary care" means care given in a state home for veterans, as that term is defined in 38 U.S.C. 101(19), that does not provide nursing home care or related medical services and that meets the standards required under 38 U.S.C. 8134.
