This sounds fine but there is no mention of a Rifle or a Pistol range on the facility. As Veterans we deserve to maintain our tradition of arms. As protectors of the country and the constitution I would think this would question

I was really looking forward to residing here but I was denied. Between 30and 40 years ago I unfortunately had DUIs. Because they were so many years ago I just figured there wasn’t any records, I was wrong and therefore I was denied. Funny thing is, is the the federal government all across America is letting murderers, Drug dealers and many other criminals get out of prisons, jails and other facilities to have a second or even third chance at living a somewhat normal life. Me on the other hand, homeless for the first time in the 60 years I’ve been alive DENIED because of my bad choices 3 to 4 DECADES ago. Thanks for nothing Yountville VA!!!! PS Still homeless

I have resided in this care facility for 11 years and have seen quit a change in policy. When I first arrived it was paradise. We had a commander that was in her dress whites and knew everyone by name. Those were grand times. Currently, I am thankful for the care I received at the on-site care. They are wonderful. I don't interface with administration any longer. That has kept me sane. All in all, take away administration. This place is my paradise. There is no perfect place. But to finish out my years, this is just fine.

My parents have lived at this beautiful facility for the last 4 years. My father, who just passed away, received excellent care while on the campus. My mother, who is not a vet but who was allowed to be there due to my father's service, has found the whole experience incredibly enjoyable. There are no end to the activities offered to the residents there, there are shuttles and buses to take them all over the Bay area, and you could not ask for a more gorgeous location! If you or a loved one is a veteran I would highly recommend checking it out.
