How Visiting Angels Helps Families With Veteran Home Care

Families in Houston may worry about paying for at-home services for elderly veterans, and Visiting Angels is here to help. We are fortunate to be a member of the Veterans Affairs Community Care Network and to accept Aid & Attendance benefits. We can assist your family member in making full or partial use of their VA benefits to pay for our in-home care services!

What is the VA Community Care Network?

Visiting Angels of Houston, which is a part of the Veterans Affairs Community Care Network, is able to assist you in covering expenses involved with at-home services for elderly veterans. If your loved one can't get the care they need from their local VA facility, the next best thing is to work with a provider in the Community Care Network.

Here's how veterans can be eligible to work with providers in the Community Care Network:

• To arrange a Community Care Network Home Evaluation for a loved one, get in touch with their primary care physician or a social worker via the VA;
• If your family member is qualified to receive services from the Community Care Network, their primary care physician or social worker will designate a VA case manager to conduct a Care Needs Evaluation;
• Your loved one may choose Visiting Angels of Houston as their care provider once their case manager has assessed their needs and determined that in-home care is the best solution.
