CDPAP Veteran Program
RCIL's CDPAP Veteran Program is designed to help veterans of all ages live independently in their own homes, stay active in their communities, and remain in control of their care - without the need for nursing home placement.
RCIL supports the independence and growth of veterans through our CDPAP Veteran Program. Veterans of all ages can choose their own staff, manage a flexible budget, and create a personalized care plan that allows them to live on their own terms at home. Start your journey toward independent living today.
This program is supported by Otsego County Office For The Aging.
