A medical foster home-an alternative to a nursing home-is a private home in which a trained caregiver provides services to a few people. That authority would take effect at the start of fiscal year 2021 and would expire after three years. VA currently inspects and approves medical foster homes to care for veterans. The department provides case management and home-based health care to veterans in those homes. Those veterans pay for their room and board. H.R. 1527 would authorize VA to pay for those living expenses as well. CBO expects that once veterans are placed in medical foster care under the program, VA would continue to pay for their expenses in those facilities as long as they continue to reside there; thus, costs for the program would continue after 2023 (see Table 1).
