Delaware Valley Veterans' Home

The Delaware Valley Veterans' Home (DVVH) is a veterans' home operated under the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA). It is located in northeast Philadelphia, adjacent to the 275-acre Benjamin Rush State Park and directly across the street from the PA National Guard's Southampton Armory. The home provides care for its residents with a professional staff, many of whom are veterans, and offers an active lifestyle with organized programs such as art and music therapy led by the visiting Philadelphia Arts and Education Partnerships, military ball-themed dances, and leisure activities including cards and board games in the community room and relaxing on the outdoor patio.

The Delaware Valley Veterans' Home is a veterans' home under the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA). DMVA has a dual mission: to provide quality service to the commonwealth's veterans and their families, and to oversee and support the members of the Pennsylvania National Guard (PNG). DMVA provides resources and assistance to Pennsylvania's nearly 700,000 veterans and their families, and provides quality care for aging and disabled veterans. The department traces its origins to the Adjutant General Department created by the Act of April 11, 1793, later renamed the Department of Military Affairs by the Administrative Code of 1923, and renamed the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs by the Act of March 21, 1996. DMVA is headquartered at Fort Indiantown Gap in Lebanon County.

A patriotic-themed home for veterans seeking to stay connected to their military roots.
