(From Blanchard Valley Health System)
Birchaven Village, a division of Blanchard Valley Health System (BVHS), is pleased to announce a new partnership with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Through this collaboration, Birchaven Village is now accepting VA insurance, opening the door for more local veterans to access high-quality senior care services and residential options.
This partnership allows eligible veterans to use their VA benefits to help cover the cost of living expenses and care at Birchaven Village. This includes short-term rehabilitation stays, long-term care, and memory care. The new agreement further supports Birchaven’s mission to provide exceptional, compassionate care while honoring those who have served our country.
“We are deeply committed to serving the needs of our community, and we are especially privileged to work with the veterans in our area,” said Judith A. Bishop-Pierce, LNHA, Director of Residential Care at Birchaven Village. “Our team is proud to provide the highest standard of care and support for those who have served our country, and this partnership with the VA ensures they have greater access to the services they deserve.”
Birchaven Village offers a full continuum of care to seniors living in Hancock County and the surrounding region. For those looking to simplify their lifestyle, Birchaven provides condominiums that are available for purchase within a vibrant and welcoming community. For individuals needing a bit more assistance, the campus features both independent and assisted living apartments available in various floor plans to suit personal preferences and care needs.
Birchaven also offers adult day services in the memory care unit. The Julien A. Faisant Adult Day Center serves the dual purpose of maintaining an individual’s maximum level of independence while providing relief, support, and education to caregivers and families of the participants. The Center provides family members with the necessary support to allow them to work outside the home or enjoy much-needed respite time.
For seniors recovering from surgery, illness, or a recent fall, Birchaven is recognized as Findlay’s premier rehabilitation destination. It offers skilled nursing and personalized therapy services. Additionally, Birchaven provides long-term care and specialized memory care, delivering support in a warm and respectful environment that prioritizes dignity and quality of life.
Veterans and their families who want more information about eligibility, available services, or how VA insurance can help cover care costs are encouraged to call Birchaven Village at 419.425.3850 or visit our website at birchaven.org.
