Supporting the Westchester County Veterans
Visiting Angels in White Plains provides professional caregiving services that enable senior veterans and their loved ones to continue living in the comfort of their homes. Our caregivers also offer respite care for those whose primary reliance on care is with a family caregiver.
Caregivers focus on providing non-medical aid, offering support for personal care, cooking, grocery shopping, and light housekeeping to help clients maintain their independence and avoid relocating to long-term care facilities.
Accessing Your In-Home Senior Care
Veterans and their families seeking additional information about their benefits can begin accessing personal care benefits through the Veterans Administration by filling out the 10-10EZ form and submitting it to the Veterans Administration. Additionally, veterans can visit a nearby Veterans Center and request a consultation with a service coordinator, social worker, discharge planner, or case manager. These professionals are equipped to guide veterans through the application process and address any inquiries related to the program.
The ideal first step would be to contact the Westchester County Veterans Service Agency. The Westchester County Veterans Service Agency diligently strives to secure the optimal benefits for veterans and their dependents. This commitment extends to coordinating with the federal Department of Veterans Affairs and various government agencies, ensuring comprehensive support at every level.
To ensure a smooth application process, you must provide identification and documentation confirming your loved one's veteran status. You might also need to furnish financial statements or medical documents depending on the specific requirements. For detailed information about the necessary documents for your application, consult with your VA care coordinator or a County Veterans Service Officer, who can offer guidance on the documentation needed to complete the application successfully.
