Long-Term Care options for Oregon veterans

Vet Centers are community-based counseling centers that provide a wide range of social and psychological services. They’re staffed by highly trained counselors, many of whom are veterans themselves, dedicated to seeing you through the challenges that come with managing life during and after the military. You may be eligible for Vet Center services no matter your discharge status or eligibility for VA health care. If they can’t help you, they’ll find someone who can.
