Larry Barrett Veterans’ Memory Care Act of 2025

This bill creates new rules for veterans needing memory care services under the Veterans Community Care Program. It requires the VA to honor veterans' preferences about where, when, and how they receive care, and to assess if they need a caregiver, for three years after enactment. Veterans living more than an hour from approved providers can get faster approval (within 30 days) for care with non-network providers, with in-home care provided during the approval wait. It also ensures veterans already receiving care under these new rules can continue until their care episode ends, regardless of the three-year timeframe.
