Press Feature: VA Medical Foster Home Care for Veterans in Cheyenne

Written By Richard Brown Jr, MBA

When a Veteran begins to need daily support, families are often faced with high pressure decisions, limited time, and a lot of unanswered questions. In many cases, the first assumption is that a facility is the only realistic option. What often gets missed is that there are home based models of supportive care that can provide structure, safety, and consistency in a more personal setting.

One option that deserves more attention is the VA Medical Foster Home (MFH) model. A Medical Foster Home is a private home where eligible Veterans can receive supportive care and 24 hour supervision, with clinical oversight coordinated through the VA. The day to day environment is typically calmer and more familiar than institutional settings, which can be especially important for Veterans who do best with routine, stability, and a consistent caregiver relationship.

As a veteran owned provider operating a VA approved Medical Foster Home in Cheyenne, I regularly speak with families who have never heard of this option. Many do not realize it can be available locally, and they are often surprised to learn how the model works, what the home setting can look like, and why it may be a strong fit for certain care needs. Families also tend to have important questions about eligibility, how coordination with the VA happens, what support looks like on a daily basis, and what factors to consider when comparing MFH care to other long term care pathways.

I recently shared a press feature that highlights VA Medical Foster Home care for Veterans in Cheyenne and explains why awareness of this program matters for families making care decisions. It is written to help readers understand the opportunity without feeling overwhelmed, and it addresses several of the common assumptions people have when they are trying to decide what the next step should be.

Founder & Owner, Essential Living Support, LLC

U.S. Army Veteran | VA-Approved Medical Foster Home Provider | Certified Shared Home Provider

I am a healthcare professional and U.S. Army veteran dedicated to providing high-quality, person-centered care for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and Veterans in need of home-based support. After earning my B.S. in Healthcare Administration – Healthcare Information Systems and completing my MBA in Healthcare Management, I founded Essential Living Support, LLC in Cheyenne, Wyoming to offer a compassionate alternative to institutional care.

My experience includes direct care, medication administration, behavioral support, safety compliance, and the development of life-skills programs that promote independence, dignity, and community inclusion. I hold full approval from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as a Medical Foster Home provider and am a certified Shared Home Provider under the Wyoming Department of Health’s DD Waiver program.

My approach is simple: create a home environment where people feel respected, understood, and genuinely cared for. I believe real care means more than meeting medical needs—it means building trust, supporting personal goals, and helping every individual feel valued in their daily life.

Today, Essential Living Support offers 24/7 respite care, homemaker services for Veterans, companion care, life-skills development, and a family-style residential setting focused on safety, consistency, and meaningful engagement. Whether I am coordinating medical appointments, supporting daily routines, or helping a client master a new skill, I see every moment of care as an opportunity to make someone’s life better.

Outside of work, I enjoy scuba diving, fitness, serving my community, and continuing to grow as a leader in home- and community-based care.
