AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) - A new memory care facility opens at Amarillo VA Health Care System for Veterans with Dementia and Alzheimer.
Veterans in the program have been patiently waiting for over two years, when the project was initially launched. First, they had to wait for the construction, and then of course COVID-19 caused some disruptions.
“To be honest with you, I don’t even remember the projected move in date because it got set back too many times,” said Leanna Tijerina, chief nurse of Community Nursing Center at the Amarillo VA Health Care System.
