The Veterans Homecare Choice Act of 2025 aims to enhance the Veterans Community Care Program by requiring the Department of Veterans Affairs to recognize nurse registries as eligible providers. This amendment to title 38, United States Code, specifically includes services furnished by registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, home health aides, companions, and homemakers through these registries. The bill defines a "nurse registry" as an entity that procures contracts for these healthcare and assistive service professionals, ensuring they meet applicable State licensure requirements . By formally recognizing nurse registries, the legislation seeks to expand veterans' access to a broader range of home-based care and support services within their communities.
