WATERLOO, Ill., Oct. 14, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Accolade Healthcare of Waterloo has expanded its services to better serve the local veteran community, entering into a new agreement with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) through a Veterans Care Agreement (VCA). This partnership aims to provide high-quality skilled nursing care to veterans in the Waterloo area and surrounding regions.
Accolade Healthcare of Waterloo is now part of the United Healthcare Veteran Affairs Community Care Network (VACCN), offering short-term placement options for veterans seeking rehabilitation and transitional care. The organization also provides a range of long-term care options, including respite and hospice care, through the VCA. These services are designed to support veterans in their recovery and ongoing care needs.
Eli Kamins, the administrator at Accolade Healthcare of Waterloo, expressed his commitment to serving veterans.
Accolade Healthcare works closely with the VA team to streamline the admissions process and ensure that veterans meet eligibility requirements. The organization's experienced team assists with verifying VA eligibility and benefits, coordinating referrals and medical documentation, and collaborating with VA care teams and social workers. This ensures a seamless transition from hospital to skilled nursing care.
A key component of Accolade's approach is its dedicated team of liaisons specializing in transitional care for veterans. These liaisons ensure continuity of care and provide personalized support at every stage of the veteran's care journey. Accolade Healthcare of Waterloo has a strong history of working alongside the VA and is now expanding its services to the southern Illinois and St. Louis regions.
Accolade Healthcare launched in 2017 and currently has seven skilled nursing facilities, providing a range of services including short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, hospice services, memory care wings, outpatient therapy, in-house dialysis dens, and other specialized clinical services. The organization is dedicated to delivering personalized, high-quality care to its patients.
