Description

We learn how the VA Maryland Health Care System is offering some disabled veterans an alternative to institutional care; instead, up to three veterans move into the home of a full-time caregiver. Coordinator Nicole Trimble describes the delicate matchmaking process. And we hear from US Army veteran Peter Samaras, who moved in with caregiver Patrice Taylor six years ago.
