Top 3 Senior Veterans Benefits

At Amada Senior Care, we believe that every veteran deserves to fully understand and access the benefits available to them. Navigating the various options can be overwhelming, but our experienced team is here to provide the guidance and support you need.

BENEFIT #1: Aid and Attendance

This benefit provides additional funds to qualified veterans or their surviving spouses, enhancing their monthly pension from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) 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 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 local Kansas veterans who wish to remain independent in their own homes, providing them with a trained home health aide or homemaker. These in-home professionals assist with daily living activities and offer companionship. Veterans services are contracted through non-VA providers, typically home care agencies.

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 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.

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.
