CHEYENNE, Wyo. - s4story -- When a Veteran needs daily support, one of the biggest decisions is where that care will happen. Many families assume the only option is a facility, but home based alternatives may provide the structure, safety, and consistency a Veteran needs in a more personal environment.

One option some families explore is the VA Medical Foster Home (MFH) model. A Medical Foster Home is a private home setting where eligible Veterans can receive supportive care and 24 hour supervision, with clinical oversight coordinated through the VA.

As a veteran owned provider operating a VA Medical Foster Home in Cheyenne, I regularly speak with families who are making decisions under stress and with limited time. The purpose of this article is to help families understand the basics and ask clearer questions before choosing a care setting.

Why some Veterans prefer a Medical Foster Home setting

For many Veterans, home based care can offer a consistent routine, a quieter environment, and relationship based support in a setting that feels less institutional. It can also support connection to the community while still providing daily supervision and assistance.

Questions families should ask before choosing any care setting
Whether you are considering a Medical Foster Home or another option, these questions can help confirm safety and fit:

What level of supervision is provided, including overnight coverage?
How are expectations documented and communicated to the Veteran and family?
How are medication routines supported, and what boundaries apply to that support?
How are concerns handled, and who is notified if issues arise?
How does the provider coordinate with the VA care team or other oversight resources?

These questions protect the Veteran and help prevent misunderstandings by setting clear expectations early.
