Home Care for Veterans

Seniors frequently begin to need help with daily activities as they age; this is especially true if they have lost a family member. Everyday care tasks like food preparation, housecleaning, laundry, getting to and from appointments, and personal hygiene can all require assistance, day in and day out.

This kind of ongoing care is frequently not paid for by insurance or Medicare, creating a substantial financial drain on veterans, as well as their families. Many seniors who served in the U.S. military — including the Marine Corps, Navy, Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, or Space Force — may be qualified for in-home personal care benefits through the Veterans Administration (VA).

Your VA health care providers determine eligibility for this program. Once approved, the VA will create a plan of care, and pay out the cost of care directly to home care providers.

Aid and Attendance Benefit

The Aid and Attendance program helps veterans and surviving spouses who need help with daily tasks due to age or disability. Qualified veterans will have completed 90 days of active service.
