Understanding VA Benefits for In-Home Care

Many families are surprised to learn that certain VA benefits may help cover the cost of in-home care for qualifying senior veterans or their surviving spouses. While eligibility depends on each veteran’s service history, health needs, financial situation, and VA enrollment status, our team can help families understand the basic options and next steps.

Three common VA-related care resources include:

Aid & Attendance

Aid & Attendance may provide additional funds to a qualified veteran’s or surviving spouse’s monthly VA pension to help cover the cost of in-home care.

This benefit may be available to veterans or surviving spouses who meet certain military service, medical need, and financial requirements. In general, a veteran must have served during a qualifying wartime period, need help with activities of daily living, and meet VA financial eligibility guidelines.

Activities of daily living may include bathing, dressing, grooming, walking, meal preparation, eating, toileting, or other personal care needs.

VA Home Health Aide / Homemaker Home Health Aide Support

The VA’s Homemaker/Home Health Aide program may help eligible veterans remain safe and independent at home. Through this type of support, a trained caregiver may assist with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming, walking, meal preparation, eating, and companionship.

Eligibility may include enrollment in a VA medical benefits package, confirmed eligibility for community-based care services, and a doctor’s order for home care services.

VA Respite Care

VA respite care may provide short-term care so family caregivers can take a break, attend appointments, run errands, rest, or care for their own health. Depending on the veteran’s location, needs, and available VA services, respite care may include home visits by a trained caregiver.

To receive VA respite care, a veteran typically must be enrolled in a VA health care benefits package and need assistance with activities of daily living or have a chronic illness or condition requiring a level of professional care.

Compassionate In-Home Support for Veterans

Every veteran’s care needs are different. Some need a few hours of help each week. Others need daily care, live-in care, dementia support, or help after a hospital, rehab, or skilled nursing discharge.

Our veteran care services may include:

• Bathing, dressing, grooming, and personal hygiene
• Meal preparation and hydration reminders
• Medication reminders
• Light housekeeping and laundry
• Walking, transfers, and safe mobility support
• Toileting and incontinence care
• Companionship and meaningful conversation
• Transportation, errands, and appointments
• Dementia and Alzheimer’s care support
• Respite care for spouses and family caregivers
• Support after a hospital or rehab stay

Our goal is to help veterans remain safe, respected, and supported in the comfort of home.
