3 Most Valuable Senior Veterans Benefits
BENEFIT #1: Aid and Attendance
This benefit provides supplemental funds to qualified veterans or their surviving spouses, enhancing their monthly pension from the VA (Veterans Administration) to help cover in-home care costs.
Eligible veterans must:
- Have 90+ days of active duty, including at least one day during wartime (two years for Persian Gulf service).
- Require assistance with at least two activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming, walking, meal preparation, and eating.
- Have a significant portion of income allocated towards care expenses.
BENEFIT #2: Homemaker/Home Health Aide (HHA)
This program supports Greater Toledo Area veterans who wish to remain independent in their own homes, providing them with a trained home health aide or homemaker. These in-home care professionals assist with daily living activities and offer companionship. Veterans services are contracted through non-VA providers, typically home care agencies like Amada Toledo, Ohio.
Qualification criteria include:
- Enrollment in a VA medical benefits package.
- Confirmed eligibility for community-based care services.
- A doctor’s prescription for home care services.
BENEFIT #3: Respite Care
Respite Care offers temporary relief for spouses and other family caregivers, allowing them time for personal errands, their dependents, or their mental health. Services may include home visits by a home health aide, short-term stays in community living centers or VA nursing homes, adult day care, or in-patient care at VA medical centers. Priority typically is given to aging veterans 75 and older, disabled veterans, or those with greater financial or health needs.
To qualify, veterans must:
- Be enrolled in a VA health care benefits package.
- Need assistance with daily living activities or have a chronic illness that requires professional care.
