Veteran Benefits to Help with Home Care Services
The Veterans Administration Benefit offers the Aid and Attendance Program. This benefit will pay for home health care and assisted in-home care for veterans and their surviving spouses, even if their disability was not service-connected. To qualify, the veteran must have served at least 90 days on active duty with at least one day during war-time. The veteran must be permanently and totally disabled, which means he or she must require care or assistance on a regular basis – which protects them from dangers of daily living activities and/or environment. For information, call (800) 827-1000.
