Administrative History
The New York State Soldiers and Sailors Home was created to provide care for honorably discharged disabled soldiers or sailors who served in the United States army or navy. Applicants needed to be state residents for at least one year prior to their application for admission. The facility was transferred to the federal government in 1929 and became the Bath Branch of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. In July 1930 the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, the Veterans Bureau, and the Bureau of Pensions were consolidated to form the United States Veterans Administration which maintained oversight of the facility, renamed the Veterans' Administration Home at Bath, NY, and other federal veteran homes and hospitals throughout the country.
