Prepared with the Assistance of the

New Mexico Veterans’ Hope Inn is a management entity which provides community awareness through education; develops avenues of community access; promotes quality assurance and management oversight; and offers operational support and integration of services. New Mexico Veterans’ Hope Inn has also developed a network of providers able to deliver direct services to its residents. New Mexico Veterans’ Hope Inn provides these benefits to citizens of Guadalupe, Quay, San Miguel, DeBaca, Roosevelt, Torrance, and Santa Fe Counties; the surrounding communities; and the entire state of New Mexico by managing a licensed assisted living facility. Their supportive entities include home health care, hospice services, and an evaluation of the need for skilled nursing beds. They are a premier assisted living program designed to accommodate the needs of elderly, disabled, and homeless/at-risk Veterans in Guadalupe County, the six surrounding counties, and the entire state of New Mexico.

New Mexico Veterans’ Hope Inn has built a network of providers to implement programs and services in the following areas: licensed adult residential care facility to provide assisted living; licensed home health care and hospice agency to provide facility and community based services; and licensed non-medical home care providers for facility and community based services. New Mexico Veterans’ Hope Inn explores other provider relationships that will enhance the delivery of long-term care services and meet the continuum of care of the community in order for the facility to be financially viable.

New Mexico Veterans’ Hope Inn submits this Proposal with a view toward more effectively and affordably meeting the needs of the elderly, the homeless/at-risk, and the disabled Veteran populations. New Mexico Veterans’ Hope Inn is mindful that the proposed goal of the VA in New Mexico is to provide quality care at a cost comparable to or lower than what is currently available within the existing long-term care system, to increase accessibility, and to provide a greater ability to meet individual needs. New Mexico Veterans’ Hope Inn is committed to working with the VA services to provide access for our New Mexico Veterans.

As the State of New Mexico Department of Veterans’ Services begins to look at new alternatives for care, assisted living will need to be scrutinized and monitored to insure quality programs, accountability, and excellent service. The officers of New Mexico Veterans’ Hope Inn have over 38 years of combined experience. They are committed to this process and are dedicated to ensuring quality assisted living to citizens in Guadalupe County, Quay, San Miguel, DeBaca, Roosevelt, Torrance, and Santa Fe Counties; the surrounding communities; and the entire state of New Mexico.

All network providers working with New Mexico Veterans’ Hope Inn will meet or exceed New Mexico State Licensing requirements. State surveys will be reviewed annually by New Mexico Veterans’ Hope Inn staff to ensure that compliance with regulations are being met and maintained. All programs providing services through New Mexico Veterans’ Hope Inn for the assisted living component of any of the Veteran programs will be required to provide the utmost core services as outlined in the state benefits summarized in the Standards for Assisted Living.

New Mexico Veterans’ Hope Inn’s Proposal to the
State of New Mexico Department of Veterans’ Services will substantially lower annual reimbursements for Veterans who are residents of nursing homes, hospitals, or motels. These savings are based on the New Mexico State Veterans’ Home billing of a facility, in comparison to an assisted living facility. A Skilled Nursing facility daily bed rate of $465.00 versus the New Mexico Veterans’ Hope Inn‘s rate of $73.50 assures a considerable cost-saving approach.
New Mexico Veterans’ Hope Inn, which has ample accommodations for 59 residents, would be an annual savings of $8.4 million. The potential savings of approximately $391.50 daily per resident for 365 days, multiplied by the potential of 200 Veterans statewide at assisted living facilities is $28.5 million annually. (Please note: Projected Veterans’ Expenditures).
