Comfort Keepers Spokane: Your Guide to VA Benefits for In-Home Veteran Care
Finding high–quality home support shouldn’t feel like a military campaign. Yet many Spokane-area veterans discover that deciphering Veterans Administration (VA) benefits is almost as challenging as their original service. Comfort Keepers® Spokane is here to simplify the process—combining our award-winning in-home care with practical, step-by-step guidance on every VA program that can fund or enhance at-home support.
Our mission: Make sure every Inland Northwest veteran who qualifies for VA home-care benefits can use them fully—while enjoying the dignity, safety, and independence they earned.
1. Understanding Your VA Home-Care Options
Key Benefits Veterans Can Use at Home
| VA Program | What It Covers | Typical Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Homemaker & Home Health Aide (H/HHA) | Personal care, light housekeeping, meal prep | Daily help with bathing, grooming, mobility |
| Skilled Home Health Care | Nurse visits, wound care, medication management | Post-surgery or chronic conditions |
| Respite Care | Short-term caregiver relief (up to 30 days/yr) | Prevent family-caregiver burnout |
| Adult Day Health Care | Daytime social & clinical support in a group setting | Cognitive decline, isolation concerns |
| Aid & Attendance / Housebound Pension Add-Ons | Monthly cash supplement for those who need regular assistance | Veterans with limited income/assets |
Basic Eligibility Checklist

Clinical Need – Documented by your physician or the Mann-Grandstaff VA Medical Center.
