Visiting Angels Green Bay Brings In-Home Care Services to the Green Bay, WI Region

In-home care support shouldn’t be hard to obtain when you need it. Visiting Angels Green Bay provides attentive and compassionate caregivers to veterans in the Green Bay region. In partnership with the Veteran Administration, we help active duty military, naval, or air service veterans explore their options and eligibility for in-home care.

The Support You Deserve Right to Your Front Door

At Visiting Angels Green Bay, we understand the sensitive needs of military vets. Senior veterans face challenges living independently, and many are more prone to struggling with PTSD, Alzheimer’s disease, and other health matters earlier in life than civilians. 

The Veteran Administration offers several programs to help your loved one get the quality care they deserve without the financial burden.

How Do I Qualify for Veterans’ Benefits?

Two programs can help you get the at-home care your loved one needs: VA Aid and Attendance Benefits and Housebound Allowance and VA Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care (H/HHA) Program. 

Both of these programs have specific eligibility requirements that our Visiting Angels Green Bay team can help you review and gather information needed to complete the request for benefits.

VA Aid And Attendance Benefits and Housebound Allowance

The Aid and Attendance program provides financial assistance to veterans and/or their surviving spouses requiring assistance with ADL. You can use program benefits to cover the costs of 

• In-home care
• Assisted living facilities
• Nursing homes

Eligibility is based on the veteran having served at least 90 days of active duty with at least one day during wartime. Additionally, the veteran must meet income and asset requirements and require assistance with ADL. 

Are you eligible for this VA program? We encourage you to contact your local VA office or speak with a VA benefits counselor. The application process can be lengthy and require specific documentation. Feel free to contact Visiting Angels Green Bay if you want our assistance getting the care your veteran loved one deserves.

VA Homemaker and Home Health Aide (H/HHA) Program

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides a benefit called the VA Homemaker and Home Health Aide (H/HAA) program. The H/HHA provides your qualifying loved one with skilled care services deemed medically necessary by their attending VA physician. 

How does your loved one qualify for this VA program? They must be enrolled in the VA healthcare system and (as determined by their VA physician) require in-home care. Some medical necessities requiring in-home care are wound care, physical/occupational therapy, and medication management.

Eligibility into the H/HHA supports your veteran loved one with access to assistance with a wide range of daily living tasks to help maintain safety and independence within their homes. This program is available at no cost from the VA healthcare system.
