VA provides health care for Veterans from providers in your local community outside of VA. Veterans may be eligible to receive care from a community provider when VA cannot provide the care needed. This care is provided on behalf of and paid for by VA. Community care is available to Veterans based on certain conditions and eligibility requirements, and in consideration of a Veteran’s specific needs and circumstances. Community care must be first authorized by VA before a Veteran can receive care from a community provider.
VA provides supportive medical services to help chronically ill or disabled eligible Veterans of any age remain in their home. These services are referred to as home health care and are considered extended care services prescribed by and under the direction of a VA physician.
VA provides several types of home health care including:
Skilled home health care
Home health aide services
Homemaker services
Respite care
Remote monitoring care
Hospice care
Palliative care
The Veterans Administration offers “Aid & Attendance” as part of a pension benefit that is largely unknown. This pension benefit allows for Veterans and surviving spouses who require the regular attendance of another person to assist in eating, bathing, dressing, toileting, medication reminders, meal prep, grocery shopping, and transportation to appointments to receive additional monetary benefits.
This is a benefit that is not dependent upon service-related injuries for compensation. The most common requirements are for the individual to have served at least 90 days of active duty service, of which at least one day was during a period of conflict. The veteran need not have been directly involved in the conflict.
If the applicant qualifies, the “Aid and Attendance” benefit will help pay for home care. Contact Cypress Home Care or the Veterans Administration for additional information.
