OUR MISSION
The mission of The Long Island State Veterans Home is to provide high quality and compassionate health care services for veterans and their families without regard to race, gender, religion, disability, age or national origin. We will continually strive to advance our methods and standards of care through our teaching and research affiliation with Stony Brook University. Our dedication to the men and women who served this nation is reflected in:
- Our responsibility to America’s veterans - Each of us strives to be as committed and responsible to the care and well being of our residents/registrants as they were during their service to our nation.
- Our team approach to resident care - We encourage the active participation of all of our clinical and support service disciplines, as well as families, volunteers and the community, in an effort to provide comprehensive health care.
- Our motivation to maximize independence - We strive to maintain and enhance functional abilities of those we serve through a variety of therapeutic interventions.
- Our commitment to valuing our employees - In order for us to effectively care for our residents, we must provide our employees with a work environment conducive to mutual respect, accountability, caring and individual growth and development.
- Our pride in providing a place that any veteran can call home - The foundation of military service is pride in our nation. The basis of the care we provide is our pride in what we do.
