As a way to honor our veterans and to thank them for their service and sacrifices, the Department of Veteran Affairs provides healthcare and health-related services to eligible military veterans. Here in Colorado, we have several VA facilities, including the major VA health facility in Cheyenne, WY.

These services can include showering, dressing, meal preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, and other home services.

The VA hospitals in Aurora, CO and Cheyenne, WY, as well as others throughout the state, approves all veterans for this program and determines the hours of service, with the costs covered by the VA. Through the Home Health Aide Care program provided by the VA, we are dedicated to serving the needs of our honored veterans in Boulder County.
