     The three veterans' memorial homes are located in Menlo Park, Paramus and Vineland.  Combined, they provide approximately 950 hospital-infirmary beds for nursing care patients (including 40 beds for those with dementia or alzheimer's).  The recreational activities provide mental and physical activities to help improve the veterans' health and quality of life.
