Ensuring that the residents of the Virginia Veterans Care Center (VVCC) in Roanoke and the Sitter & Barfoot Veterans Care Center (SBVCC) in Richmond are cared for in a safe and healthy environment is our highest priority.
We are also committed to keeping our residents and families connected to each other through in-person visits, phone calls, e-mails, and video chats.
Families wishing to connect to their loved ones should contact VVCC at 540-982-2860 or SBVCC at 804-371-8000 to schedule an in-person visit, set up a phone call or video chat, or for help with e-mail.
VVCC and SBVCC are following CMS, CDC, and VDH guidelines to reduce the spread of COVID-19 virus and to protect the health of our residents and staff. A care center team member will explain the procedures that must be followed during in-person visits, including limits on the number of family members that may visit at any one time, and the requirement for wearing of PPE.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work together to protect the health and safety of our veterans while keeping you connected.
VVCC and SBVCC are accepting applications for new admissions. Please contact VVCC or SBVCC to learn more.
Virginia Veterans Care Center (Roanoke)
The Virginia Veterans Care Center (VVCC) is one of two state homes for veterans in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
