Veterans Services - Home to more than 175 Veterans
The Camp Hill Veterans Memorial Building is "home" to 175 of Canada's Veterans. A cenotaph commemorating those who fought in World War I, World War II and the Korean War has been placed in the Veterans' Memorial Gardens adjacent to the building, a poignant reminder of dedication and service to their country. A Veterans' Council represents the needs and concerns of all Veterans living in long term care.

Veterans Affairs Canada determines eligibility for admission. There are two units of 50 beds each and third unit with 25 beds, which care for Veterans with a wide range of diagnoses. There are also two 25-bed secure units for those with irreversible dementias who may be at risk for wandering. Family physicians together with interdisciplinary teams provide care to the veterans and families are encouraged to participate in the Veterans' care.

The CHVMB offers a wide variety of recreation and occupational therapy programs plus a formalized palliative care program, and other services such as pastoral care, psychology, and dental and foot care. There are Ambulatory Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy departments at the CHVMB, and the kitchen prepares all meals served on both campuses of the QEII.
