BARSTOW 40-BED SKILLED NURSING FACILITY
The Budget provides $2.3 million ($2.1 million General Fund and $245,000 federal funds) and 18 positions to reopen the 40-bed Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) at the Barstow Veterans Home. The opening of the SNF unit will provide a level of care needed by veterans and will allow for greater utilization of the Barstow Home. The activation of the unit will occur over two fiscal years.
GREATER LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTY VETERANS HOMES CONSTRUCTION
The Budget includes $621,000 General Fund and 5.2 positions for the initial construction and pre-activation phases of the Greater Los Angeles and Ventura County Veterans Homes project. At completion, the new facilities will bring Adult Day Health Care, assisted living and Skilled Nursing Facility care to veterans in the greater Los Angeles area.
ENTERPRISE WIDE INFORMATION SYSTEM
The Budget provides $11.4 million General Fund ($7 million one-time) and 26.4 positions to procure and implement a statewide Veterans Home Information System. This system will be implemented in the veterans homes proposed for construction and in the existing veterans homes over the next seven fiscal years. The new system will be based upon the federal veterans health care information system and will improve health care tracking, improving the continuum of care provided to veterans.
SALARY INCREASES FOR CLASSIFICATIONS AFFECTED BY THE PLATA, COLEMAN, AND PEREZ COURT CASES
The Budget reflects an increase of $3.5 million General Fund to increase salaries for personnel classifications providing medical, mental health, and dental services for the California Veterans Homes in Yountville, Barstow, and Chula Vista. This augmentation brings salaries to appropriate levels consistent with decisions for non-Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations personnel pursuant to the Plata, Coleman, and Perez court orders. These increases will improve hiring and retention of health service staff at the California Veterans Homes and enhance the level of service provided to veterans.
