Veterans Benefits

Comfort Keepers^® Is Honored to Serve Our Nation’s Veterans

We feel privileged to care for veterans who served our nation in its time of need. We provide you with the information to work through the paperwork to help you avoid potential pension claim delays. Once you become an approved participant in a VA program, Comfort Keepers will provide the quality care and companionship our veterans deserve. There are several programs for which an individual may qualify:

Improved Pension Benefit Program
Homemaker/Home Health Aide Program
In-Home Respite Program

Who Qualifies?

If you or your spouse served 90 consecutive days of active military duty – at least one of those days during a U.S. declared war – you are already partially qualified.

Other qualifications include specific financial criteria and documented physical need for in-home care.

To begin the application process, you will need:

Original discharge certificate
Marriage certificate (divorce papers from any prior marriages, if applicable)
Death certificate of veteran (if applicable)
Social Security numbers for the veteran and spouse

If you think you may qualify for one of the VA programs, contact your local Comfort Keepers office today. Or use the Find Local, Loving Care search box in the left side of the screen to locate the office nearest you.

Veteran's Program

If you are a veteran or surviving spouse of a veteran requiring in-home care or the assistance of a caregiver in your daily life, you may be eligible to receive pension benefits from the Veteran's Administration.

The Veteran's Non-Service Connected Improved Pension

This pension benefit program is federally funded for veterans and/or their surviving spouses. It's designed to fund in-home care for those who meet established criteria. It may be in addition to a VA Pension or a VA Compensation.
