Veterans home's restrictions lifted

The Arizona Republic

PHOENIX — The federal Department of Veterans Affairs has lifted referral restrictions placed on the state veterans home in the wake of shortcomings of care reported earlier this year at the facility in Phoenix, the home's parent department announced Wednesday.

The action by officials of the federal agency's medical center in Phoenix means the state home is in compliance with federal and state standards and can again admit new patients, the state Department of Veterans' Services said.

A letter sent by federal officials to a home official commended the staff for "diligence and hard work" in resolving

problems found by state and federal inspection teams during separate visits to the 200-bed home earlier this year.
