Not all home care providers offer all the different types of home care services. This short guide will provide an overview of the different types of home care. Care is customized to your individual needs and may include services from one or more of the types described. Contacting a provider to discuss your needs can help determine what care is best for you. While the multiple types of home care may serve different needs, they share a common goal: to enable happier, more independent living for the people receiving care, and to provide support and peace of mind for their families.

Home care includes any professional support services that allow a person to live safely in their home. In-home care services can help someone who is aging and needs assistance to live independently; is managing chronic health issues; is recovering from a medical setback; or has special needs or a disability. Professional caregivers such as nurses, aides, and therapists provide short-term or long-term care in the home, depending on a person’s needs.

With help from 3rd party VA Accredited Benefits Agents, we help our applicants get additional funding to pay for home care services, the VA Benefit is called “Aid and Attendance”. We do not charge the Veteran or their family a penny to assist them. We are one of the only home care agencies in this area that is associated with an expedited process to provide this no fees service. The VA benefit can provide up to $2,365 per month to Veterans and their spouses who need non-medical care/assistance to help them with activities of daily living in their home or chosen place of residence.

We work with Veterans and their surviving spouses to complete and file their benefit paperwork so we can help ensure they get approved and provide them a 6-12 month interest free loan to pay for the home care services during the 6-12 month application process. Once the veteran gets approval for their benefit, they are retroactively paid (by the VA) for all the care provided to them during their 6-12 month application process. The veteran then pays back the interest free loan.
