VANHA's Mission

The mission of VANHA is to represent the interests of the not-for-profit facilities serving older adults in Virginia; to advocate for and educate its members through the ongoing development of an effective association.

VANHA's History

The Virginia Association of Nonprofit Homes for the Aging (VANHA) is a statewide organization of not-for-profit retirement housing facilities, adult care residences, nursing homes, and continuing care retirement communities. Facilities are sponsored by a variety of religious, fraternal, public and private organizations dedicated to providing quality care and services to the elderly.

VANHA was founded in 1973 by nursing home administrators who believed that non- profit homes were unique in their needs and resources and required their own organization. VANHA is proud to have served the State of Virginia elderly for over 30 years. Since it's beginning, over 100 facilities, representing over 15,000 residents, administrators, staff and boards, and over 100 affiliate members have joined VANHA. VANHA has a central office with a full-time president and support staff in Richmond.
