My husband got decent care from VA Hospital until he died of Alzheimers in 2005. Don’t know if that was a good or bad period in general for VA care in east coast areas.
My area of NY the VA has never been good overall.
But there was a time between 200 and 2008 where they actually did make an effort.
And if you contact the VA to see what is available and open to you, they immediately want to go disability.
I’m not disabled, and resources going towards that for me would be better used elsewhere for other current and former soldiers who need it more.
NY VA is infamous for having mold in the suction bottles in their hospitals.
