We have completed an evaluation of the Wisconsin Veterans Homes, as requested by the Joint Legislative Audit Committee. The homes are administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA). As of December 2009, they provided skilled nursing or assisted living care to a total of 887 veterans and their spouses. In fiscal year (FY) 2008-09, the homes' combined expenditures totaled $89.7 million. Operating expenditures increased by 64.2 percent during the five-year period we reviewed, largely because Union Grove opened a new skilled nursing facility in September 2006.
