These in-home professionals assist with daily living activities and offer companionship. Veterans services are contracted through non-VA providers, typically home care agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Qualification criteria include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Enrollment in a VA medical benefits package.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Confirmed eligibility for community-based care services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A doctor\u2019s prescription for home care services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BENEFIT #3: Respite Care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Respite Care offers temporary relief for family caregivers, allowing them time for personal errands, their dependents, or their mental health. Services may include home visits by a home health aide, adult day care, short-term stays in community living centers or VA nursing homes, or in-patient care at VA medical centers. Priority is typically given to older veterans (75 and older), disabled veterans, or those with greater financial or health needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To qualify, veterans must:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Be enrolled in a VA health care benefits package.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Need assistance with daily living activities or have a chronic illness that requires professional care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on veterans benefits, check the Department of Veterans Affairs website at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.va.gov\/\">www.va.gov<\/a>.
