According to the Veterans Health Administration, residential care is defined as encounters between Veterans and providers within the VA health care system that require an overnight stay in residential bed sections. Although some residential care is also classified as extended care, two programs are specifically classified as “residential care” in the site classification: Residential Rehabilitation and Domiciliary Care (most residential rehabilitation programs are types of domiciliary care). Note: Domiciliary Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Programs (DRRTPs) are stand-alone, and do not include the DRRTP programs co-located within a VAMC. These are included in the Other VHA Facility layer in the UDS Mapper. For more information, see https://www.va.gov/health/.
