The 2008 nursing per diem amount is $74.42 and for domiciliary care it is $34.40. Adult Day Health Care â up to one-half of the cost of care â cannot exceed $66.82 per day. The goal of state veterans homes is to get Congress to increase the per diem rate for nursing care to 75% of the state private nursing rates.
