If you're a veteran or caring for a loved one who served, you may be wondering if the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) helps cover the cost of in-home care. The good news is that many eligible veterans and some surviving spouses may qualify for VA benefits that make receiving care at home more affordable.
At Comfort Keepers South Colorado Springs, we're proud to support local veterans by providing compassionate, personalized in-home care. Through our partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs, we help families understand available resources while delivering the daily support veterans need to remain safe, comfortable, and independent at home.
Understanding VA Home Care Benefits
The VA offers programs designed to help eligible veterans receive care in the comfort of their own homes. These benefits are intended to support veterans who need assistance with everyday activities while allowing them to maintain their independence.
Eligibility depends on several factors, including military service, healthcare needs, financial qualifications, and approval through the Department of Veterans Affairs. Some surviving spouses may also qualify for certain benefits, including respite care services.
Because every situation is unique, it's important to speak with your VA care team to determine which programs may be available.

Whether care is needed a few hours each week or on a more regular basis, our caregivers provide dependable support that helps veterans continue living at home with confidence.
