For many veterans and their families, receiving care at home means more than convenience—it represents comfort, dignity, and peace of mind. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers programs that help eligible veterans access in-home support so they can remain safely in familiar surroundings while maintaining as much independence as possible.
At Comfort Keepers, we are proud to assist veterans in understanding their eligibility and connecting them with compassionate care that makes daily living easier and more meaningful.
Understanding VA In-Home Care Eligibility
VA in-home care programs are designed for veterans who need personal assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, preparing meals, or getting around safely. These services are part of the VA Homemaker and Home Health Aide Care program, which provides non-medical support from trained caregivers. This program is especially helpful for veterans who prefer to live at home rather than move to a nursing facility.
Eligibility for VA in-home care depends on several factors, including service history, level of need, and financial circumstances. Generally, veterans must be enrolled in the VA health care system to receive these benefits.
Veterans who qualify often:
- Need help with personal care or household tasks due to age or disability.
- Live alone or have a family caregiver who needs additional support.
- Want to remain in their homes instead of moving to a long-term care facility.
- Are you receiving VA health care services, or do you have a VA primary care provider?
For some veterans, in-home care is provided as part of a larger care plan developed with a VA social worker or care coordinator. This helps determine the appropriate number of hours of home assistance based on the veteran’s needs.
