| The Wisconsin Veterans Home at King, located on Rainbow Lake near Waupaca, is the state's largest nursing care facility. Veterans who meet criteria for military service and state residency may be admitted if they apply income and resources to the cost of their care as required by Medicaid. Members receive complete medical and nursing care as well as social services and recreational activities. Many members participate in work therapy programs, which allow them to earn extra money while providing valuable services to their fellow members. In addition, more than 375 volunteers contribute nearly 70,000 total hours of service annually through visits to members and support activities that enrich community life.
