Questions people ask about Cincinnati VA Medical Center

Who are the programs at Cincinnati VA Medical Center built for?

Does Cincinnati VA Medical Center treat older adults?
Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Fort Thomas.
How many options are within driving distance?
8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 3.1 miles away in Newport.
Can I do this by video instead?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Fort Thomas often still has to be in person.
Can family be involved in treatment?
Most programs include family sessions, and many treat the family as part of the work rather than as visitors. A household that changes nothing while one person is treated puts that person back into the same week they left. Ask whether family sessions carry on after the main program ends.
How long does treatment take?
There is no fixed length. What is on offer tends to be a 30, 60 or 90 day program. Outpatient programs often involve three to five sessions a week at first, then taper to one. Ask how many hours of treatment a day the length actually contains.
