Who is Eligible for Veterans Home Health Care?
At Comfort Keepers of Peoria, IL, we focus on helping local veterans and their families with top-notch home care services. Numerous servicemen and women might qualify for veterans home health care benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), which can assist them in preserving their independence and receiving the care they need.

Criteria for VA Home Health Care Benefits
To be eligible for veterans home health care, individuals need to meet certain criteria established by the VA. Eligibility requirements for most VA benefits include having served on active duty and being honorably discharged. Additionally, veterans may need to meet specific service-related conditions or disabilities as determined by the VA. We encourage veterans and their families to reach out to their local VA office for detailed information about eligibility and benefits specific to their circumstances.
The Aid & Attendance Program
The Aid & Attendance program is a valuable benefit for eligible veterans. It offers financial assistance to those who require help with daily activities. This program can help cover expenses related to in-home care, enabling veterans to get the necessary support to stay independent at home.
Veterans need to meet certain criteria to be eligible for the Aid & Attendance Benefit, which includes:
A veteran who served during a time of war.
A permanent and total disability rating from the VA or 65 years old or older.
Needing help with activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, or eating.
