The Northeast Louisiana Veterans Home is located in Ouachita Parish on a 20-acre pecan grove in Monroe. The 156-bed home backs up to Bayou Desiard, where our veterans love to go sit on the pier or do a little fishing. Also behind the home is a garden tended by veterans and our maintenance staff. Inside you will find the Hero Hangout game room with a wide variety of games such as foosball and pool and unique to our home, the It’s Never 2 Late interactive computer system. This system, located in our therapy room, allows veterans to simulate driving, flying and more. Our volunteers are welcome and routinely help during activities and special events.
The home is conveniently located to Caldwell, Catahoula, Concordia, East Carroll, Franklin, Grant, Jackson, LaSalle, Lincoln, Madison, Morehouse, Ouachita, Rapides, Richland, Tensas, Union, West Carroll and Winn parishes. Veterans do not have to reside in these parishes to live in the Northeast Louisiana Veterans Home.
Apply for Admission
Louisiana veterans who are honorably discharged, wartime or peacetime, and who served 90 days of active duty; spouses of veterans; and Gold Star parents are eligible to live in a veterans home. Individuals interested in living in a veterans home can complete an admissions application and submit it to our admissions coordinator, or reach out for assistance.
How to Help
We welcome volunteers who want to give back to the hundreds of veterans who call one of our veterans homes their home. Our veterans love activities, from bingo to crafts and much more! Individuals or groups may sponsor and/or call bingo, donate food and drinks or bring your therapy animal for a visit. In addition, there are many events held at the home throughout the year, and volunteers are welcome for those as well. Contact us to find out how you can help.
