OVHL Hits Capacity, Oct. 4

The Oregon Veterans’ Home in Lebanon (OVHL) reached full capacity late last month, welcoming its 154th current resident, Robert Rogers, on Sept. 23. In a unique coincidence, Mr. Rogers arrived on the same day OVHL staff, residents and supporters gathered to celebrate the facility’s two-year anniversary. Also known as the Edward C. Allworth Veterans’ Home, the OVHL opened its doors in the fall of 2014 to provide skilled nursing, Alzheimer’s and dementia-related care, plus inpatient and outpatient rehabilitative services to veterans, their spouses and Gold Star parents, who have lost a child to wartime service.
