Veterans Benefits for Home Care
As the number of our aging veterans grows, so does the need for personalized senior care. Families are at the forefront of discerning how and when to incorporate this in-home care assistance, and often the financial burden is the greatest challenge to overcome.
But we can be grateful that we live in a nation that aims to serve those who served. Many older adults who served in the U.S. military — including the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, or Coast Guard — are eligible for in-home senior care through the Veterans Administration (VA). We are proud to be a chosen provider for the VA to offer our veterans these needed services. In addition, we partner with our local advocates in Stearns, Benton, Sherburne, and Wright counties to help veterans access their benefits.
Qualifying For Veterans Benefits
Many veterans of the U.S Military are unaware of their eligibility for in-home care services Visitng Angels offers. If you have a loved one who served, they may qualify for financial assistance toward personal home care if they meet the following:
- Served in the active military, naval, or air service and were separated under any condition other than dishonorable.
- Current and former members of the Reserves or National Guard who were called to active duty (other than for training only) by a federal order and completed the full period for which they were called or ordered to active duty.
Applying For Veterans Benefits
The easiest way for Families to apply for personal care service benefits through is by completing the 10-10EZ form and sending it to the Veterans Administration.
Additionally, veterans can contact a local Veterans Service Officer in Stearns, Benton, Sherburne, and Wright county. These dedicated VSOs daily assist families by evaluating each veteran's unique situation, submitting the proper applications, and personally answering questions about the various VA programs. Be prepared to provide identification and documentation of your loved one’s veteran status as well as financial statements or medical documents as requested.
