The Mat-Su Valley has the highest percentage of Veterans in Alaska in need of long-term care services. Therefore, to meet our Veterans’ needs, the Veteran Directed Care (VDC) Program was started, which is a partnership between LINKS Resource Center, and the Alaska Veterans Administration (VA). The VDC program goals are to facilitate Veteran’s choice & autonomy- allowing them to remain independent in their homes & community.

The Veteran-directed service model empowers Veterans & their families by expanding their degree of choice and control over long-term care services and supports they need to continue living at home. This is achieved within the program by allowing the Veteran greater decision-making authority over their care.
