New Walla Walla VA nursing home accepting applications

The new Walla Walla Veterans Home is accepting admission applications starting Monday in anticipation of a February opening.

Others, including veteran spouses and widows and Gold Star parents, also may apply. The home will accept Medicaid and private insurance.
