Veterans guest house to open a hospice home: Serving veterans through their final journey 
ABC 8 KOLO, Reno, Nevada; by Rebecca Kitchen; 11/11/24 
For the last 30 years, the Veterans Guest House has made a commitment to serve veterans and their families as they seek medical care in our area. And over those 30 years, the need has grown tremendously. In fact, the Guest House has regularly been at capacity this year. To accommodate the increased need, the Veterans Guest House has also expanded on the services it offers. ... Every day, veterans and their families are confronted with end-of-life decisions. Some, have the resources to live out those days in comfort. But others face those last moments with uncertainty. “So, our solution is providing a home so they can get the hospice care and the 24-hour care that they need when they can’t get that where they live,” said Froslie. The current home and mission remain the same. This is a second home that will offer a cost-free, private residence for veterans in their final days. It is not a medical facility. Veterans will enroll with a hospice provider of their choice, who will oversee their medical needs.
