Home Care for Veterans

It is common for seniors to need help with everyday tasks as they get older, especially if they have lost a spouse or family member. Despite being a normal and expected need, this type of custodial care is not often paid for by health insurance or Medicare - even if it becomes a critical medical need.

Visiting Angels is a home care agency that helps veterans and surviving spouses keep their independence at home, aging in place with dignity. Through Visiting Angels, seniors in Lufkin, TX can obtain companionship and non-medical assistance with activities of daily living.

The professional caregivers from Visiting Angels help with personal tasks such as light housework, meal prep, eating, hygiene care, toileting, and grooming. Visiting Angels can also assist in the complex application process of applying for VA and other benefits and assistance.

Benefits of Home Care for Military Veterans

In-home care services for qualified veterans come with many benefits. We offer a wide range of home care services that enhance quality of life for those who are unable to fully meet their own needs. We provide several levels of care, from basic homemaking services for those who need just a little help, to specialized skilled care for those with a clinical need for home health assistance.

Respite Care

Respite care can allow family caregivers to rest and recharge, allowing for a better life balance and improved relationships for family members.

Skilled Nursing Care

Skilled nursing care is sometimes necessary for both service-connected disabilities as well as for age-related conditions. Filling this need in their own homes provides peace of mind, continuity, and comfort to older adults.

Personal Care Services

Personal care services, such as hygiene, light housekeeping, and meal preparation improve mental and physical health, create better living conditions, and offer the opportunity to focus on interests and relationships that matter.

Veterans of any age who meet the eligibility requirements can access VA programs to help with the cost of care. Whether a veteran uses the Aid and Attendance Program, the Homemaker and Home Health Aide program, there is likely a veterans home care program that can help with daily tasks and reduce the need to move into a nursing home or care facility. We're here to help you understand and access the VA benefits you are entitled to, and arrange for the type of care you need.

As a Surviving Spouse, are there benefits that apply to me?
